Is that possible?
I'm not sure how else to say it. I don't want to use photobucket or imageshack or anything like that. I just want to put a picture into a table by using the directory 'link' like:

"C:\Sites\Images"

Does that make sense? or is it possible? Any other suggestions?
Please and thanks!!

A response as soon as possible is highly appreciated
But no rush. (:
Just, at this point, I'm simply stuck and cannot go further without this.

if it's on your hard drive no-one else can see it. not sure what you're trying to do - normally you would just insert the image in your page and then when you save and publish it/upload it the image will be live on the net for everyone to see.

So does that mean I HAVE to use something like photobucket to upload an image? Other people have done it without a 'host'. I just don't know how.

I want my site online...
I don't have a host just yet. I'm coding it all in notepad.

I'm going to re-do the entire coding. I used tons of tables (within tables) and decided I'm going to just learn Div instead. Do you know anything about Div's? I'm completely new to it, and am sort of a beginner to CSS. But I'm a fast learner, if you, or some one else, would kindly be willing to point me towards a tutorial, or help me themselves, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Time isn't really a factor, considering I'm 13 and have PLENTY of time to sit on the computer. And I have a lot of patience to read through things if need be. I just think it'll be easier to learn from some one 'personally' in case I have any questions. (:
Thanks again!

=
On second thought, when you use Div's does the data of the page skip around on screens with different resolution?
That was my whole reasoning of using tables.
...
would this be easier if I posted my entire code?

If you just want to see the photo on local system, it's possible by adding a img src code like <img src="your drive path"> but if you want to publish your page online, then you'll have to use the path where the image is located in on your server.

Not if it's done correctly , and its' still not a good reason to use tables for layout.

Unless YOUR computer is open to the internet, and acting as a server, then you can't use images directly on YOUR computer, as noted, the image has to go on your web host server.

Hi,

Its quite simple mate. Upload your picture to your image folder and give links to your picture page then you and any one can see your images.

Upload to images folder (If folder not exist then create first)
Give link of your picture to your page like images/picture.jpg
Thats all.

Thanks

download an ftp tool such as cuteftp, then point that program to the local hard drive (with picture) and connect to your servers ftp address such as ftp.yourdomain.com then once your connected to the ftp server, drag the file from the hard drive to the folder on the server. Now you have it online so everyone can see it.

Simply save the image in some directory; where ever you have your websites files hosted and call it in an image command.

1. Upload 'image.jpg' to the /images/ folder on your host.
2. Make a new page anywhere, lets put it in your root.
3. Add this code where you want your image to appear.
HTML Code:
<img src="./images/image.jpg" alt="HoverText">

/* The dotSlash at the beginning isn't needed */
/* -- dot    = Current Directory              */
/* -- slash  = Folder                         */
