Hey folks,

I am in the early stages of building my first web site. Also early in my understanding of HTML so pardon my ignorance.
I am using Namo 5.5 to build the site but writing my own code. When pulling a banner link over from one of the sites I have an affiliate account with the image does not show up(in the preview page). The text links seem to work fine, name is in blue, text in black. With the banner links all I get is a liitle box with a name or x in the middle. The sites provide all the coding and from what little I know it looks correct( starts with a ref= and has img src included).
When I asked Namo about they talked about after publishing problems. I unstand what they are saying about that but the site is not published yet.
Should I be able to see the images? Am I missing a tag of sometype? Any help would be appreciated..........John

It sounds like the banner has an additional image on it (either a jpg or, more likely, a gif). You need to have the image also, in your directory, in order for it to show up. That's why you're getting the little box with an x in it (missing graphic). If you are taking it from another website, there may be copyright issues involved, I don't know your entire situation. But in order to get the image to show up, you need to go back to where you got the banner, right click on the image, and save it to your directory. Then, obviously, you need to reference it (and it's location) in your code. (For example: <IMG SRC="images/bannerpic.gif"> )

Hey JPT,

Worked like a charm. I knew it was something very simple but I guess I had played with it for so long I couldn't see it.
Appreciate the assist....................John
