    HIII!

    I am building a site for myself, and I suck.

    I can view an image, entitled pp.jpg, fine locally - looking at the local HTML through Firefox, it appears.

    I put the index.html file, and pp.jpg, in the SAME directory on the FTP thingy.

    But when I go to the page online, everything but the image loads. What gives?

    I have the img stuff as thus (hope this works...):

    <p><img src="pp.jpg" height="300" width="550"

    and pp.jpg is, as I say, in the same directory as the index.html file.

    You've not closed the img tag looking at that.

    <img src="pp.jpg" height="300" width="550"/>

    Try that.

    When I view the source of the page I can't find "pp.jpg" anywhere.

    EDIT: Or is it a separate site you're talking about?
    EDIT 2: And Lexx is right.

    The source is on another page - not that blog page.

    Also try specifying the full image directory in src if that doesn't work.

    Yeah, here's my question. I realise it's stupid, but there we go:

    When defining the directory, I simply use pp.jpg, because it's in the SAME directory as the HTML in question - hence it's relative.

    So if I was to put it in a folder called 'images', would it simply be img src="images/pp.jpg"?

    Have you checked that your extension is lowercase jpg and not uppercase JPG or even jpeg?

    You could use "/images/pp.jpg" - the first forward slash indicates the root, so that link should work on any page on the site.

    It was PP.jpg in the root, and pp.jpg in the source.

    I see you care not for centre aligned images. Out of interest have you been doing any of the codecademy html/css lessons?

    Please don't use the delete button, think of the children.

    Yeah actually align the images centrally, would look better.

    I've got an internal CSS jobby that has set margins to push everything to the middle. It works (incredibly)!

    No, I haven't. I think I will start - but will finish some more JS, I think.

    Need to get back to that, but have been doing this HTML as prep for possible work with someone.

    Internal CSS? as in an inline style? looking at he source it looks like you do (well in page I can never remember if that's called inline), not something I'm a big fan of myself but I guess it's fine for tumblr since it's all one page anyway.

    I was just curious because I've let the JS stuff slide a bit too. I recently started doing it again and noticed there's a fair amount of html/css stuff on there now. If it's any good then I might use it to brush up and learn the proper ways of doing it rather than my own bodged methods.

    Nah that blog page isn't the site I've done HTML on - I've built myself a little site under my own name etc. Tumblr is too advanced for me atm.

    But you are right, that Goya etching should be centred. I'll do that in a minute - I normally fuck it up though :(

    Good to know HTML/CSS is there. I'll get back onto it after I have an interview tomorrow...

    Bear in mind you're using an XML-style tag there, so it'll be valid XHTML but not valid HTML 4, and I believe not valid HTML 5 either. Still, most browsers should render it fine, supporting XHTML as they do.

    Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

    Mal, how would it be done in HTML 4/5? I'm using XHTML from a rather old source to double check bits and bobs.
