Looks like the wrong way to write the full path to your image. Try a forward slash (/). If the HTML file and image are in same folder, just shorten path to the image's file name only:

<img src="image_name.jpg" width="xxpx" height="xxpx" alt="">

If image is in another folder say, imgs, then:

<img src="imgs/image_name.jpg" width="xxpx" height="xxpx" alt="">

Might check into use of using full, relative and absolute paths.

But it's weird, i used the same path on a different one ad it worked, I think it's something with the internet provider...

ex: I used it on page one and it worked but I used the same path on page 2 and a red "X" came up.

Using a path to your C drive is not going to work once image and HTML file has been up loaded. Maybe on a local network. Do you have a URL where this can be checked online?

Sorry, i'm JUST learning html... I have no idea what you just asked.

[Major Payne]

I was asking if the page you are having problems viewing is online at some hosting service and what is the path to it so I can view the page and the code.

When working with the web you do not specify file paths with a backslash like in Windows. But rather with a forward slash.Using your C:\ is not going to work either because that is not your document root of your web folder.

I am assuming you are simulating a server on your own PC, or you are just messing around with .html files which don't need any server simulation. If that is the case then you may use your C:] as a pointer to where ever. Check your file path to see that it is correct, also check spelling.

Think we covered all that in previous posts. Just waiting on answers to last few posts from OP.

Ron

yes, I'm just messing around offline. and I have no webpage. I'm in like an 8th grade html codes class. I only know the very basics. and Mr. Ryan isn't here to help me T__T

[Major Payne]

OK. Well, the path you used after closer look is correct as to the way to do a complete path:

<img src="C:\Documents and Settings\Nightmare\My Documents\Sprite Documents\Archer inst2.bmp">

There may be, as mentioned, a wrong file name for image. Archer inst2.bmp is not the same as Archer inst2.BMP or archer inst2.bmp or Archerinst2.bmp. Usually the spaces are filled in with 20%:

<img src="C:\Documents20%and20%Settings\Nightmare\My20%Documents\Sprite20%Documents\Archer20%inst2.bmp">

Recheck the path, spelling, etc.. You might find a simple mistake.

HTHs,

hmm. Is the html stuff spesified to different computer types? Like Hwelet Pakard and DELL are different or something?

[Major Payne]

Not the PC, but good code usually is parsed properly by most browsers. Firefox is CSS2 compliant is the better browser for designing and checking web pages against. The best, that is, until the rest catch up. Don't see that happening soon. What browser are you using to practice viewing your HTML page? What HTML Editor are you using? Since you are studying HTML, maybe the teacher is limiting you to notepad. LOL

I'm using firefox to view and yes I'm only using notepad to make the pages and yes I know that I can use Microsoft word or word perfect to make the html stuff, but I don't see how it makes a difference.

[Major Payne]

Please do not use Word or Word Perfect unless you have a code stripper for the saved html pages. They add Mico$oft specific code that will play havoc with parsing pages on the web. Try a free editor like http://www.crystalfi....php?topicid=20. I am testing the new beta 2007 version right now. I'm listed in the credits if you get it and check. Brag, brag.
