I'm at the level of trying to get a very basic web page working. I have the simple text bit ok, but can't quite sort putting a photo on.
I've created and reduced a jpeg to a suitable size and I've saved it into the same folder as my web page. Lets say that the file name I have is something like 'DCS0789'
Could you suggest a simple way for me to get the image on screen, perhaps at a default size if this is possible (and makes sence)
The code that I've seen somewhere involves SRC, IMG, then the file name etc
Don't get me wrong, I haven't just been stabbing at it, but dispite countless attempts, all I get is a tiny white box with a red cross in it.
If anyone can point me closer to what I need, it would be most appreciated, and a brief description of what each part of the code does would be great.

Thanyou all for your time, and previous replies to my trivial problem - got to learn sometime I suppose ! - Cheers - Paul

Use the following code...

Code:

<img src="Image_name.jpg" border="0">

Hope this helps

just to be completely sure of what you are doing visit this.

no offence but google search for "img scr image" works

I don't doubt that the method you suggest is spot on, however there could be some problem with the location of my photo, it's file name, file type, or the location of the '<IMG' line in the html doc. Not sure if I can post this lot on here, but I'll have a go anyway. Thanks for the help !!

I've found a good online tutor which has helped me get
to grips with the most basic operation of html. Things were going well until
I tried to put a photograph on
The next step for me is to learn how to put the photo on. I had a photo already in the computer, just a test
, it was called 'DSC1401', I've resized it and saved into the same folder as this page
. The name of the photo does not end '.jpeg', does this matter ?
Please review what I've done, if you could point to the problem, that would be great !

you are forgetting file type

DSC1401.jpg or DSC1401.gif or whatever the file is ...

just repace "DSC1401" with "DSC1401.jpg" if the file is a JPEG image

I think u'r problem will be solved if u use the image file name properly as .jpeg etc. One thing more u can take a help with Frontapage in making u'r page.........after that u can check up the html code from there........this can give u the exact help.
