Answer 1

The location of the picture is relative to the web page that is displaying it.

Most pictures are in an images folder.

So in My Documents create a folder called My WebPage
Now within My WebPage create a folder images.
Your web page is in My WebPage and your pictures are in images.

The html is


If you now create a new folder within My WebPage called Extra and then put a web page in this folder, the image tag will now be


The ".." is a go back one folder level.

HTML. Its all relative!

Answer 2

maybe your path is wrong

if theres error again,copy the pic to the same directory of your html page and call it like that



Good luck

Answer 3

Your code shows " " marks around too much of the code. Try this instead:




"angry.gif" will be you pictures name and its ending:gif, jpeg, etc.

Just add the full name of your pic in that code above-- should work.

Answer 4

Put the picture in the same folder of your HTML files.
and use "img src=file.jpg"

If you put C:\documents....... you are putting the pathway that is in your computer.

You need to put the pathway on the server such as:
img src="http://www.mydomain.com/picturefilename.jpg" or gif what ever file type it is

If you have a photo directory on your server you need to include that in your pathway such as:
img src="http://www.mydomain/mypictures/myimage.jpg" or what ever file type it is.
