html question: image isn't displaying

[rudy45]

I am modifying html of a Word document that contains an image. Previously, the image location was an "absolute" location, e.g. src="C:/folder1/folder2/image001.jpg"

Now, however, I want the image location to be relative, not absolute. Specifically, I want to keep the html file and the image file in the same folder, regardless of name, and I want the html to be able to find the image file. I thought that this statement would do it:

src="image001.jpg"

However, when I view the html, I see no image, only that dreaded empty box. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Is the image in the same path as the doc?

Is it on your computer or an image site like PhotoBucket?

Move the image file to the same folder as the .html file. Then open your HTML editor and select the image and reinsert it from the same folder as the HTML file.

Just google “html path relative”

With the image in the same directory as the Word .doc this should work.

Oops...

<img src="image.gif" />

With the image in the same directory as the source file this should work.

make sure the image file and the html file are in the same directory. Then use <img src="your_file.jpg"> and it should most definitely display in any browser. Check for capital and lower case letters in your file name as File is not the same as file.

It should work that way — with no http: etc etc., the url is relative.

<img src="image001.jpg">

should work if the file in which it is contained is in the same folder as image001.jpg.

thanks for your help. I resolved the issue. Somehow, Windows Explorer, or Firefox or something else was renaming the file to image001x.jpg. So of course the html wasn’t finding the file. I renamed it back, and everything is fine.

Thanks for your help.
