If your friend knows html, yet can't use an <img> tag, i suggest that he reads that too.

Code: Select all
-HTML-
<img src="http://mysite.com/myimage.jpg"></img>

-XHTML-
<img src="http://mysite.com/myimage.jpg" />

I don't think that you need to end </img> in regular, standart HTML :)

Code: Select all
<img border="0" src="http://mysite.com/myimage.jpg" width="0" height="0" />


thats the code we used but still didnt work lol , and when i edited it by taking out the border width and height every thing screwed up, but other than that its the normal code

@Questutis
you're wrong young padawan, in HTML4 you must close every tag.
ie <br></br>, <img></img>, etc'

@GosenSSJ
Did it occur to you that the image might not be there? :)
that tag looks perfectly fine to me.

btw, when you use xhtml, any alphanumeric value must be suffixed by a type.
ie, border="0px", border="0%", etc'.

also useful to have an alt attribute. The width and height being 0 is a touch concerning too ;).

Holy shit, what is this <a href='http://mysite' target='_blank'>http://mysite</a> thing?

GogenSSJ mate, put your bloody image inside the public_html folder of your account and name it image.jpg

Then open notepad and write these: (copy-paste)

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>My Image</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<IMG SRC="image.jpg">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Save this file as index.html and put it in public_html folder as well, together with your image file. Go to your address, you should see the image.

By the way if all these are to make the under construction page, imagine when you'll try to make the real page!

I hardly suggest to use Dreamweaver or another WYSIWYG page creation app.

Its called learning.

I agree with using relative linking as you say as opposed to absolute.

It's called learning when somebody tells you and you learn, not when you need 10 posts for the bloody <IMG> tag and inserting an image in your page!

Anyway, good luck with your page, but I still suggest you get an editor!

In future if you want help with your code, paste your actual code. Using "examples" doesnt help anyone when the error could have been several things in the code you posted.

Also, IMNSHO, if you just want to put up pages an editor could be OK, bit if you want to write really good, efficient HTML - do it manually.
Most automatic tools fill your source with incredible amounts of bloat which is 1) unneccesary and 2) does not conform to standard.

... just my $0.02.
