are you sure the image fallleaf1.gif exists and is in the same directory as the page with that code? is the file name the correct case (IMAGE.gif is not always the same as image.gif)?

You are exactly right. The image must not exist in your folder you have your website in. This is a common mistake, however, and can be fixed, of course. You can also try, if you want, to use this format for your image. If it is in a different folder on your Directory, simply type this: <img src="folder/image.gif"> and be done with it. Byeeeeeeee =]
