img src

[sirduke]

When I create a web page with the tag <img src=&quot;imagefile&quot;> Internet Explorer only displays a box with an 'x' in it. what should I do?

I also tried <img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;imagefile&quot; width=&quot;131&quot; height=&quot;165&quot;>

the image is in the same folder as the html. jpeg format

that means the path is incorrect.
example
if both are with in the same director
<img src=&quot;imagefile&quot;>
if the image is in the images directory aside from teh html page
<img src=&quot;images/imagefile&quot;> ---------------------------------------
{ str = &quot;sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function&quot;;
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,&quot;coffee&quot;alert(Nstr); }

otherwsie sense you stated the same folder then check the name of the image for case etc..

if you recieve the X then the image is not being found so either the directory is wrong or the name is wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a instance where those two things were not the cause ---------------------------------------

Help me on this one (your response)??
I mentioned that the image is in the same folder as the html document. What should I do?

 

[onpnt]

you stated it is a jpeg by any chance did you give it a ext. of .jpeg instead of .jpg ---------------------------------------

Be careful with the filename, especially the extension. Some operating systems hide the file extension, or even omit it altogether. If you're in Windows, right-click it and choose properties to see if it's exactly the way you've specified in your src attribute. Some things to watch out for:

1. File extension, is it .jpg or .jpeg, or have you forgotten to include it.

2. Check for upper & lower case. Some servers are case-sensitive and will differentiate between myfile.jpg and MyFile.jpg

3. Look out for strange charactors in your file name, including *, /, ?, etc. Also avoid spaces.
