An embarrassing problem

In order to post the pictures on FR it has to ALREADY be up somewhere on the net, it can’t be on YOUR computer.

I get that part....I have a website with pictures and I have tried to follow the instructions, but no luck so far. I will keep trying. Thanks.

I still can't get the magic to work. I put the below text in the brackets...but no picture.

img src"http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/Gallery/index.asp?cat=mlts"

img src=”http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/Gallery/index.asp?cat=mlts";

So what is wrong here?

That link you provide is to a web page, not to the image itself. If you want to display an image, you must provide the URL for the actual image file itself, not to the web page containing that image.

If you right click on the image and then left click on the "Properties" entry on the menu that comes up (this is on Firefox -- IE might vary a little) then you can see that the URL for the image itself is:

http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/UploadFiles/Alex&SpeakerNewt.jpg

To display that image, include the following in your post:

<img src=http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/UploadFiles/Alex&SpeakerNewt.jpg>

When you include the above in your post, it will display as the image:

If you right click on the image just above, you should be able to examine its Properties and see that it is indeed the image at the URL: http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/UploadFiles/Alex&SpeakerNewt.jpg

How to post a picture: (?=the address of the picture)

The = was missing.

< a href="http://www.syvjoneshouse.com//" >

Dang. I still can't make the magic happen.

[trisham]

Let me try again: img src="?"

Remember to enclose in brackets < >

[Zevonismymuse]

Thank you. I am going to keep trying.

#11 will be good for you.

Still not working! But the tip re; the properties is helpful.

Why can't we just get one of those little "browse" boxes they have on other sites?

[Jeff Head]

You have two slashes at the end of the URL and only need one. Plus, there should be no space between the < and the a, or between the close quote and the >. If, in the actual code, you do not have those spaces, then I bet that those two slashes are your problem.

Also, you need some object text for the link, and at the end of that the < /a >, in case you didn't have them.

Here's how it would look:

< a href="http://www.syvjoneshouse.com" > LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE< /a >

with this result:

LINK TO SVJONES HOUSE

Huh -- did you not see the space between the "img" and the "src" ?

Cut and paste the following into your reply. It will work.

<img src=http://www.syvjoneshouse.com/UploadFiles/Alex&SpeakerNewt.jpg>

You’re welcome.

I think if it lasts more than 4 hours, you have to call a physician...oh, wait, not that kind of embarrassing problem...sorry...

[Zevonismymuse]

Looks easy. Here goes:

I think you’re almost there. :)
