Images/Pictures not showing

If you upload your assignment 1 or assignment 2 to your folder and you find that your pictures do not show when you look at your assignment in a web browser then look at these thread on the discussion forum:

It is usually either a path problem (i.e. your image is in a subfolder but your html does not include the subfolder, or you use your own PC folder such as c:/My Documents) or it is a filename or filename extension case problem - see the appendix in assignment2.pdf on your CD

Look for the picture file that is not showing - is it in the place where yout html file says it should be?

For example:
Your html has
<body bgcolor="#cccc99" background="graphics/txtured_bg.gif">
Do you have a subfolder underneath your html file called graphics and is there a file called txtured_bg.gif in that graphics folder?

The filenames case only applies once you have uploaded your files to the osprey server - Windows is filename case insensitive

For the exercises you are supposed to work in the folder that is created for you - i.e. goto C:\HTML\Lesson 1-3, 5-6\HTML Level 1\Northport Project\index.html and use that file to start your exercises

Also remember that there is another set of exercises (i.e. additional to the Masterskill lessons) for HTML (and CSS and JavaScript) on your CD in the downloads folder.

Look for the files webtutor.zip (and javascripttutor.zip, cssprimer.zip). Unzip them and start the lessons by opening the index.htm(l) file

You should do these exercises first if you find that you battle with the Masterskill exercises.


I will be back after the 12 the of March

I can't believe it. I just managed to let the picture show itself by naming my files with lowercase and with no spaces etc. And then I tried it on another picture and it didn't work. Then I switched back to my old picture. And now its also not working anymore.

The solutions are here:
C:\HTML\Lesson 1-3, 5-6\HTML Level 1\Northport Project Complete\index.html

If yopur images are not showing it is because the image file is in the wrong place

You start your lessons by working from the folder
C:\HTML\Lesson 1-3, 5-6\HTML Level 1\Northport Project

That will ensure that you have all you images in the correct place

If you have problems with the Masterskill lessons do the alternative HTML lessons first
Also remember that there is another set of exercises (i.e. additional to the Masterskill lessons) for HTML, CSS and JavaScript on your CD in the downloads folder.

Look for the files javascripttutor.zip, cssprimer.zip, and webtutor.zip. Unzip them and start the lessons by opening the index.htm(l) file

You should do these exercises first if you find that you battle with the Masterskill exercises - for the CSS and JavaScript sections these introductory exercises are sufficient for exam purposes.

Hi, really sorry but I am also having problems with my images not showing once my web page is uploaded to Osprey. I have read the recommended links and have checked my filenames but am none the wiser. Could you let me know where I am going wrong? Thanks

I am struggling.... I have Mozilla Firefox on my system and my pic shows, but I cannot get it to display on Internet Excplorer.

I am late with the Assignment and I checked, it is fine, I should be loading it tonight, but I am not satisfied, due to the above reason.

to
<image src="Gillian.jpg" width="201" height="181" alt="Gillian" border="0">
