When writing HTML in notepad(again, sorry!).....?

Question

....to add pictures to the HTML, for the picture I want to use, how would I find the correct location for it? Also when opening it in the browser am I correct in thinking that it won't be visable? Just a little box with a red cross, or am I doing it wrong? Thanks. EC XX

Answer 1

if you have uploaded your images in your main directory call them this way



if they are in a subdirectory called images



if your pahe is in a subdirectory and your images are in another subdirectory



above you'll see ../ this tells the browser to jump up one directory level and ../../ tells it to go up two levels

the default for calling an image in the same directory as the page is in ./ with a single period. you don't need to use since it is a default

◙ Here are examples that you can experiment with right on the web site. Even though you can experiment here you cannot save the results to your computer unless you copy and paste the code into windows notepad and click on FILE/SAVE AS. In the save as box where it says file name type in the name you want to five the file. Now type .html on to the end of that name. Find the place you want to save it to then click on the SAVE button.

◙ Don't be surprised if you don't learn HTML/CSS very fast. Most of us took years to learn to use it proficiently. Even now after 10 years I still don't know it all since it keeps changing all the time. Now instead of HTML we have XHTML and XML. If they keep making it more difficult none of use will be able to write our own code by hand anymore. We will have to use a WYSIWYG HTML editor that writes the coding for you while you drag and drop objects around on the page.

◙ After you have experimented some on that site then do the following.

◙ ALWAYS CHECK THE REFERENCE PAGES TO MAKE CERTAIN YOU ARE WRITING YOUR SOURCE CODE THE CORRECT WAY! JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW SOME SOURCE CODE WRITTEN A PARTICULAR WAY IN SOMEONE ELSE'S PAGE DOESN'T MEAN THEY WROTE IT CORRECTLY. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU'LL FIND THAT THEY DIDN'T WRITE IT CORRECTLY. BUT LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S SOURCE CODE IS STILL A GOOD WAY TO LEARN. IF SOURCE CODE ISN'T WRITTEN THE CORRECT WAY IT CAN CAUSE OBJECTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN PLACES YOU DON'T WANT THEM IN OR EVEN CRASH SOMEONE'S BROWSER. NETSCAPOE 4.X USERS ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE TO CRASHING. MOST OF THE TIME BROWSERS ARE VERY FORGIVING WHEN IT COMES TO BAD SOURCE CODE. BUT WHY TAKE CHANCES. THE MORE CORRECTLY YOU WRITE YOUR PAGES THE MORE BROWSERS THEY WILL WORK WITH.

◙ You'll find hundreds of free online web tools here http://dwight.clickthesky.com/webtools/ Use them to generate HTML/CSS/JavaScript source code for you then simply paste it into your pages. There are also Banner makers, site maintenance utilities and many many more.

◙ NOTE: Free web-based FTP for people that aren't using their own computer or don't want to install a ftp client on their computer. I use this wonderful utility nearly everyday. You can do everything with this client that you can do with an installed one. There are two modes, secure server and non-secure server. I prefer the secure server. This is a Java Applet so you'll need Java installed on your computer to use it. Most PCs come with it pre-installed.

◙ When FTPing files from your computer to your online account send text files, HTML/XHTML files, CSS files in the ascii mode. Send image files, movie files, music files in the binary mode. There is an automatic mode that is supposed to detect the type of file you are sending. But it isn't always reliable.

*** HERE IS HOW I LEARNED HTML/XHTML/CSS ***

◙ When you come to a page on the web click "VIEW" at the top of your browser and click on "SOURCE". If you are using Internet Explorer browser the HTML source code will open up in Windows Notepad. In Notepad click on "FILE/SAVE AS" to save the page's source code to your hard drive. In Internet Explorer click on "FILE/OPEN" to open the source code in the browser. Go back to notepad and remove some of the code and click "SAVE". Then in Internet Explorer hold down the "SHIFT" key and click on the "REFRESH" button on the browser's toolbar to see what effect the removed source code had on the page. You will learn a hundred times faster this way.

◙ Something to think about later is.......After you have gotten a little experience with HTML try DOCTYPE, XHTML, and CSS. Then try to validate your pages. Validating checks your source code for coding errors. validating will not work unless you are using the correct doctype and the correct document encoding. Validating is not something a newcomer should bother with. Being new you will make lots of mistakes and won't know how to fix them yet. http://validator.w3.org/

◙ Many libraries world-wide have books related to the Internet, Web and computers in general. They also have CDs and DVDs. Go to your local public library and get the username and password for http://www.firstsearch.org/ You have to get them at your library because that is where you will pick up and return the books after reading them. You can look up the book yourself but they will have to order it for you. Sometimes this can take awhile if the book is checked out by someone else. After reading the books and making copies of certain pages with a photo copier simply return it to them.

◙ By using Firstsearch you can search for any book in the world. Some libraries might charge a small fee but most are free. Even if they charge a fee it will be less than the cost of the book or other item you are ordering. Every Web Design book I have read was acquired in this fashion. :)

Answer 2

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

Answer 3

Hi,
OK the reason that your picture is not showing up is because you aren't telling the computer the location of the picture. Hopefully this example will help. Say you were building a web site on teachers and you had a picture called "mrs.g" you need to make a folder with the notepad in it, name the folder the name of the site like teachers, whatever then you make an images folder inside of that folder and put all of the pictures in to that. Here is the code that you would use after you name the folder and place the "images folder" inside of the site folder, it is all about file structure and being organzied so then all you have to do is I hope that this helped, if you have anymore questions about html just email me ok? Good Luck

Answer 4

As cks points out, you need to include a path to the picture in your img tag. Without a path specified, the picture has to be in the same directory as the html file. If you put the picture in a separate directory, it needs to be in the same relative location on the server when you upload it.

Is that what you're asking about location, or are you trying to position the picture in the page? There are two ways of positioning - tables and CSS. You can learn about both at http://w3schools.com/. CSS is more flexible and is now the preferred technique.

Answer 5

Well, to find the location in an internet browser, R click
When opening it in a browser, you will see it, if you code it right. You must put (with the Address/URL of the image inbetween the " 's).

Hope I helped. For more help, Redefine the question and I'll help you some more.

Answer 6

I could write something that would tear her heart out but you know something it would do you no good because it is from me. You need to make it come from your heart and pray you might still get her back. P.S. As an aside this is why a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell. Next time let her be the one to tell if she does then you are good to go. Or get some better bros because that is a serious breach of Man Law.

Answer 7

Yes, it won't be visable unless you direct it to the right location.

Save picture in "My Documents" this way you can bowse to it.
notice in the folder the complete address to that picture above.

now you need to put that complete address to that picture in your saved notepad .html file.. and resave, and double click to open and view.

It needs to then be uploaded to your website you are going to put all your codes to. and it needs to change file so only the picture name is there.
