Hi Experts!

This is my very first experience with html.

I have a file which I created in Visio and which I saved as drawing1.jpg

So I have mentioned above drawing1.jpg file and index.html file as well, which I created with a following syntax:
*****************************************************
<html><head></head>
<body> <img src="drawing1.jpg"> </body>
</html>
*****************************************
Both files were created under the same folder on my PC.
I was able to see darawing1.jpg picture when I clicked my index.html file on my PC.

However when I put my html file to I am unable to view it. Instead I see just an icon with a strange red cross symbol.

What I am doing wrong? Could you please give me a hand?

Thank you in advance.

If you have uploaded the image to the same folder as your index.html file, then the problem is most likely a case-sensitivity issue.

GeoCities file system is case-sensitive, so "drawing1.jpg" is NOT the same as "Drawing1.jpg" or "drawing1.JPG". You should make sure the case of the filename in your source is EXACTLY the same as the case of the filename itself.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Kendel,
My html file is named index.html ...without any capital letters: index.html


Billy,
I fixed the name of picture from Drawing1.jpg to drawing1.jpg now.


I am still able to view my drawing1.jpg on my PC ...However I am still unable to view the picture on geocities:-(

What else could be wrong with it? It looks like I have more mistakes....

Thank you in advance

Irina

And just to be sure, you did upload the image onto Geocities server, right?

Vragabond,

I never happened to do it before but it seems to me that I did uploaded it onto server.....Could it be otherwise? I just know that I went to and signed under my yahoo ID.

After I did it, I got Geosites Control panel with the following url:

Isn't it a server? If not...can you tell me how to upload it onto the server?

Thanks a lot!
