I uploaded an image I made on paint on my host ,angelfire...But it still comes up with the little [x] thing and doesn't show my picture! I went to properties but the location of the picture wasn't a url it was this C:\Documents and Settings\Roxy S\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CFMPOTKF... PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS IMAGE TO WORK!!! thankyou SO much for your help :)
What's the code you're using?
If you've uploaded the image to the same directory as your page, you can just use the image name instead of a url.
<img src="image.gif">

are you SURE the actual name of the file matches the one you have in your code? what about the case? Image.Gif is not always the same as image.gif. are you using the correct extension? did you save it as image.bmp but using image.gif in your code?

where did you upload it to? <img src="http://www.angelfire.com/yourusername/image.gif">
if you uploaded it into the image directory, and you're linking it from your main page, you have o type out the whoe URL

Dude128 and Cinderella- The image is a .bmp...is that whats making it not work?? See, I uploaded it on angelfire images upload thing..but I also saved it to MY pictures on my computer so in the code it says my real name rather than my username on angelfire,..is that also a problem?? Im so confused, heh. Cinderella- I think I was typing out the whole code i had.. but its not a url address...?? Well I'll try what you guys suggested too thanks for the help :)

it's fine that it's a .bmp as long as that matches what's in your code. so you would have to use <img src="something.bmp ...> rather than src="something.gif"
if the image is in a different folder, make sure your code reflects that, also. so if your HTML page is in /My Documents but the image is in /My Documents/images, then you have to use src="/images/something.bmp", for example
also, I would suggest using something other than .bmp- the files sizes on them are usually huge, so they can take forever to load
