Could someone help me with this "how to?" question. I need to know the proper command for positioning a "graphic" (ie jpeg gif tif etc.) onto a webpage. Right now I am using the following command ie Now. the problem is I have to GUESS every time the approximate top and left positions each time I place an image. This involves going back and forth and back and forth between the browser view and my html view to see if I found the exact coordinates. THERE HAS TO BE and easier way to do this? Anyone know the answer? Remember I want to be able to place an image ANYWHERE on the page. Not just beside, above or below each other.. Thanks!!

You use the right code. You may determine the right coordinates using "JRuler Screen Ruler", a program that displays a ruler on your screen which you can measure your coordinates with, just as you would with a real ruler on a piece of paper. Download it from http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jruler.htm and use it to determinate the coordinates.

I could be wrong but you may be going about this design the wrong way.
1) You don't know how big the browser window is unless you are creating the window to be a specific size and the window cannot be resized.
2) You do not know the size of the font that the user is displaying on their PC.
Html is more about organising pictures and text in a way that can be viewed in a browser window of a non-specific size.
There are certain tips and tricks that can be used to make better use of alignment, but web pages should never be rigidly specified.
If you want rigid specification then use an image rather than html.

In addition to Bogdan's answer above, you can also use a web development tool to assist you. For Firefox, if you install the Web Developers extension, the Miscellaneous menu has a "Display Ruler" and also a "Display Line Guides" option.
For Internet Explorer there is a DevToolBar you can install that also provides a "Show Ruler" option.

I am not sure why you need to guess the top and left position each time?
Are you trying to line it up with some text or other element?
or are you trying to line up images with other images?
You might want to look into using relative positioning, or floating your images left or right, use a percentages or classes with margins rather than a fixed top and left.
Maybe you can post a link so we can know what you are talking about?

First of all, you need a web hosting server, such as geocities. . . then, you upload that picture file to the hosting site. . then use this code:
