hey
i'm a novice with the whole HTML thing and am trying to teach myself the basics in notepad.
i'm currently having problems with active images. when i try to put them on a page all i see is a little white square with a red sqaure, green circle and red triangle inside it, where the image should be.
the page the image is supposed to link to still appears when i click on the white square.
could someone please tell me why this is happening and what i can do to fix it?
the image type i am using is .gif
thanks a million

that little square appears when an image is not available. Check the image path, make sure its where it is supposed to be...

Check if the extensions are correct, so if you have saved the imag like image.gif, also use <img src="image.gif">

i checked my code and i can't see what's wrong.:rolleyes:
this is what i've written:

<A HREF="about.html" TARGET="main"><IMG BORDER="0" SCR="aimg.gif"></A>

all my files (text, html and gif) are all in the same folder on my hard disk.

i'm totally puzzeled but it's probably something really simple that i don't know about! :confused:

in the future put it as /image.gif also you are using img scr... its img src. <img src="aimg.gif"> not scr... scr.... the file extention for a screen saver..........

<A HREF="about.html" TARGET="main"><IMG BORDER="0" SCR="aimg.gif"></A>

<A HREF="about.html" TARGET="main"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="aimg.gif"></A>
