Yes here is the site , www.64.18.160.241 as you can see
Nope, can’t see anything with that address, sorry!
(You’ve mixed two different kinds of addresses together. Sticking www
in front of something is not the magic word for turning something
into a web address.
The kicking horse icon on the main page is giving me a error code 404. The image is not linking to the file.
Is it a server poblem on my end and if it is can you please tell me what I would need to do to have these files link
How did you construct the link to the image? Was it something you
entered manually in the Hyperlink dialog? Have you confirmed that the
image you want to link to is in the location you are linking to?
If you have an FTP client, like Transmit or Fetch, please take a look
on your server and see if you can locate the file in question. A 404
means that the file is not there. Which is probably true. But Freeway
wouldn’t make a broken link on its own – it actually needs help to
make that kind of a mistake.
Remember, just adding a link to a file does not get that file into
the site. Also, anything you might do on your local Mac within the
Freeway-published site folder (particularly within the Resources
folder) will not be reflected on the server after Freeway uploads the
site. Freeway does not do a “dumb” upload of whatever is on your hard
drive – it actually consults its internal database of what “should”
be there, and only uploads what belongs on your server according to
its design document. SImilarly, it removes anything that it uploaded
earlier and you subsequently removed from within the Freeway
document. So if you are doing anything that “goes behind its back”,
Freeway will either ignore it, or overwrite it, or some combination
of the two.

I manually linked the file and I made sure the file was there. If I click on one of the links, I still don’t get the image but if I go on to the web address and remove “husky_website” word then the file shows up. Can you explain what is happening and do I need to move my files in the resource folder and can the resource folder have sub folders inside it.
What this means is that the file is on the server, just not in the
folder where you are linking to it. You will need to move the file
into the husky_website folder, or change the link to point to where
the file is currently.
If you want a simpler way to link to a an image file, just use the
Pic to New Window Action. Apply the Action to your button graphic,
then in the Actions palette, select the file you want to display when
the button is clicked. It’s very easy and integrated, and has the
additional benefit that it will upload the file for you. What you are
doing now makes it necessary for you to work way harder than you need
to!

Your form setup is not complete. You have it submitting to nothing –
just to your IP address – and it needs to go somewhere that is set
up to handle it. If your server has a CGI like FormMail.pl installed
somewhere, then that’s one way to handle it. You would need to find
out where that script lives, and also how to address it. Both of
those things can be learned by asking the server administrator.
What’s more common on Windows hosting is an ASP control that does
much of the same thing as FormMail. Again, you will need to know
where this control lives, exactly what form of input it is expecting,
and it’s impossible for someone besides your server admin to know
this stuff.
Kuya, I’ve been wondering why your URLs are to IP addresses rather
than domain names. Is this intentional? It is much easier for people
to remember domain names rather than numbers - that’s the main reason
why we have them!
