Some basic image help needed

[shedsounds]

and I mean basic but I never had to do this before so bear with me...

Ive got some images, Ive put them one on a page at http://www.apcv58.dsl.pipex.com/index.htm
and /page1.htm etc...

What I need is to make these so they are not htm pages but are just the jpegs. Not usre if Im explaining this right, but if you think of an avatar and you right click properties you see www.whatever.co/image.jpg, ie. its not a page just the image. Does this make sense? Its late, im tired...lol

I have uploaded the jpegs as well as the simple webpages but clearly I need to do somethign else?

You need to fix the path on the image first, it's pointing to your hard drive

file:///C:/website/poohkey.jpg

you can just put in your code (if i've understood what you are asking)... :nowords:

 <a href="poohkey.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="poohkey.jpg"></a>

basically upload the JPG file like you have done the html file... and instead of targetting to http://www.apcv58.dsl.pipex.com/index.htm you would target to http://www.apcv58.dsl.pipex.com/imagename.jpg {or gif, bmp, png}.

Thats what I have done now and it basically looks like the right idea (i.e. clicking the image would take you to http://www.apcv58.dsl.pipex.com/poohkey.jpg. Only problem is the image isnt displaying it isnt displaying the image, just redcrossing it. The image has been uploaded and is in the same folder etc..

put in the link address and it says file not found, either you uploaded it wrong or into a directory...OR more likely, the filename?? Has the filename got any capital letters in it, if so you have to put them as the filename too!

Thats the most common cause for me when using images!

Your problem is that you are linking to poohkey.jpg and not pookey.JPG - The case of the extension matters. The host most likely uses a unix file server.

[ShadowMoses]

yeah thats it!!

Unix servers are case sensitive init

Bloody hell, I never knew extensions could be case sensitive, ah well, its done the trick, thanks very much all for your help. Karma added to all.

They are only case sensitive when running a unix server, but nowadays most servers are unix because they are reliable and secure.

It's good practice anyway to get into case sensitivity - imagine if you had a massive site on a M$ server and then migrated to a unix one - you'de have a lot of maintenance to do!

Something I noticed when viewing your page...

Because the image is a hyperlink it puts the blue border round it (this can be changed with CSS, but lets not get into that).

If you wanted the border off you jus add this to the IMG tag.

<img src="poohkey.JPG" border="0">

Maybe you don't I dunno I jus thought I'd let you know

[shedsounds]

I didnt but I do now, thanks
