Hi, I just join this forum and will appreciate any help you can give me. I am learning to design web pages and to get some ideas I try to copy different sites on the web. So I save the whole web page and retrieve the images from the file. I am using Macromedia DReamweaver 8 and enjoy it a lot. In doing this I notice that a lot of times there are no pictures or just a couple in the file though I have downloaded the whole page.Where are they? I have an idea, I don't know if I am right.Are they on the server and retrieved directly when the page is requested by the browser? Thank you.Carlo

Do you ask where the images are on your HD? I think that depends on with what you downloaded the page and how. If you used your browser's Save As function there are usually a couple of choices. Note that in some cases the HTML is rewritten when you do this. It can be better to View Source and take it from there.



Yes, you got that right. The images are separate files on the server, or rather on a server. Doesn't need to be the same one, but it usually is. Everything that's linked in in a HTML file, may it be images, external JavaScript and CSS files, sounds or movies are requested from the server when the page loads. The browser originally requests just the HTML file.
