HTML help

[adiseeze]

I haven't been using HTML for that long.
When I try to put a picture into something on a site, it shows up as a broken picture thing (i don't know what its called).

Can I only put in .gif? How am I supposed to get the picture from my computer, so it will show up on the site? The pictures I'm trying to put in are .jpg

Thanks

EDIT: Oh yeah, its not a background image. If that helps...

You probably have the HTML right if you’re seeing that broken thing. (I really don’t know what it’s called either.) However, you may want to look at the <img> section of the HTML 4.01 recommendation just to make sure.

The problem is more likely that you don’t have the correct address in the src attribute. If your page is on the Internet, your image should be on the Internet too. Make sure you aren’t linking to your hard drive. (An indication of this might be an address starting with “C:” or “file:///”.) How to upload the image really depends on your Web host, who should have documentation. I would guess you just upload images like you do HTML files.

If it’s already on the Internet, do you mind sharing the little snippet of code that deals with the image?

Oh, and it really doesn’t matter if the image is a JPEG or GIF. The W3C doesn’t say what formats you can or can’t use. It’s just a matter of what the browsers support. Browsers don’t limit you to GIF, or else I would have jumped off a high building a long time ago. You can safely use JPEG, GIF, and some PNGs. Just remember that not all people, such as the blind, will be able to see your image. Provide a meaningful text alternative with the alt attribute.

Make sure you use <img src... and not <img scr... Can easily be misstyped and hard to notice right away, I've fell victim to that a few times, and it will show up as as broken picture.

you could actually use bmp and many other formats but the prefered formats are gif jpg and png for their smallsize/quality ratios. Unfortunately IE lacks png support which is why gif is still use over png, but png is better in my opinion since its not l imited to 256 colors like gif, and can be semi transperant which can do cool effects.

Do you have an idea in getting access with codes in actual website,how we extract that code if we need to see there emails if that email is not or safe mode.do you have any idea on that.

For emails it depends on your email client. I can never figure out how to do it in Outlook, but in Thunderbird there's an option to view source. In terms of security it's not a bad idea to do this to check if they sneaked anything in the code like a false link, or what not. But for any spammish email simply don't click the links to avoid possible dangers.

I know HTML! I did not read the all of the posts, but here is how:

<img src="LINK TO IMAGE" alt="somthing about pic" border="0" />

if you are doing this on a web server or somewhere else, then you need to know these things

make sure you have the picture in the right path that you designated in the src""

for example say you have this:

<img src="img/img.gif" alt="Crazy Image" border="0" />

make sure you put the image in the "img" folder!

also make sure you do not have this:
file:///
or C:\n
hoped I helped and was not late!

I am new here

Why not? There’s only five of them.

<!--html--><div class='htmltop'>HTML</div><div class='htmlmain'><!--html1--><img src ="LINK TO IMAGE " alt="somthing about pic " border="0 " /><!--html2--></div><!--html3-->

I doubt adiseeze is still around, but the border attribute is deprecated in HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and it’s not allowed at all in HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and XHTML 1.1. Use CSS instead. Also, if you’re coding in HTML, remember to remove the “ /”. Also, please, please, please make sure the alt text is useful. (A Google search will give you more than you ever wanted to know about that.)

Welcome, Lamez!
