How are you writeing the code for it?

whats the code? is the path to the picture correct?

Couple of possibilities, but the easiest to check is the path to the picture. You can either specify it relative to the HTML document, relative to the root directory, or give it the full http:// path.

So if I have a picture (picture.jpg) stored in the Images directory just off of the root directory, and the HTML file is in another directory I can use src="/Images/picture.jpg" or src="http://mydomain/Images/picture.jpg". If the HTML file is in root I can also use src="Images/picture.jpg", and if the HTML file is in the Images directory I could use src="picture.jpg".

<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/img/picture.jpg" alt="My Picture"
width="400" height="300">

If image is in the same directory as the web page, you could do:

<img src="picture.jpg" alt="My Picture" width="400" height="300">
