When burning a cd on a PC of a website that is going to be used on a Mac, is there anything that needs to be done ? edit: Going to be shown to someone on a Mac, not posted to the web. I tried one a while back and when opening the site on the Mac none of the images would show. Got to burn one now and just thought I would ask ---

Just make sure all of your paths are correct. Relative paths would be best. Also if you have any server-side scripting in it, it will not run. If it is plain HTML, you should be fine. Just triple check those paths. ---

If you’re making the website a .exe, it won’t work on Mac BTW. ---

That they had to find a PC to open it. hence why I am not sure why it didn’t work.

I think I found out the problem. I have used names like picture 1.jpg on a PC this comes out as picture%1.jpg don’t know what it does on a Mac but I think thats the sorce of the porblems. ---

as a naming rule, never use spaces in names. It’ll just cause problems when theres no need for them. ---

if you must have a space in the names, use underscore \_ instead of space. ---

Yeah\_thats\_what\_I\_do\_these\_days. I think it’s a habit I picked up from programming. But these sites were done before I learned that lesson I don’t think that the space accounts for all the problems. EDIT: I looked into the report thing for Dreamweaver but it doesn’t seem to report on anything other than trivial ALT= tags.
