Dreamweaver: How to View Images Linked to their Source on the Website
I've received a template from my designer. I view it in Dreamweaver but can't see any of the images because they are all linked to source files on the website. It looks fine in the browser and I have full control of the website hosting, so that's not the issue. I don't want to change the code to link to the sources on my harddrive, although that would be one solution. ( The images aren't product images. They are the actual form images of the template, logo, tab links, etc. )

What link syntax does the template use, the full path? (ie. http://www.yoursite ... etc?)
ASKER
Full path. Here's an example:
<link href="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
background="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_bg.gif">
<tr>
<td width="29" bgcolor="#ede5d3"><img name="hdr_leftcurve"
src="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_leftcurve.gif" width="29" height="54" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td width="26%" align="left" background="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_bg.gif">
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="_blank"><img name="logo"
src="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/logo.gif" width="224" height="54" border="0" alt=""></a></td>
...
<link href="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
background="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_bg.gif">
<tr>
<td width="29" bgcolor="#ede5d3"><img name="hdr_leftcurve"
src="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_leftcurve.gif" width="29" height="54" border="0" alt=""></td>
<td width="26%" align="left" background="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/hdr_bg.gif">
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="_blank"><img name="logo"
src="http://www.mydomain.com/ebay/template/images/logo.gif" width="224" height="54" border="0" alt=""></a></td>
...
I don't believe there is a way to get DW to import those images, but I'm not 100% sure.

So, if I want to re-create the site on my hard drive, I would change everything from the above to the following:
<link href="file:///C|/zen-cart/
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
background="file:///C|/zen
<tr>
<td width="29" bgcolor="#ede5d3"><img name="hdr_leftcurve"
src="file:///C|/zen-cart/m
<td width="26%" align="left" background="file:///C|/zen
<a href="file:///C|/zen-cart/
src="file:///C|/zen-cart/m
I tried this and it works. Note the three slashes before the drive letter and the pipe symbol replaces the colon.
