I have a genealogy web page on rootsweb and use their online file manager. My files are all in the same directory and I have a file named stpeters which is a jpg file of an image of a church.

I want to place this image on a web page for which the text is in another file in the same directory but each time I try I get a square with an x in it.

What have I done wrong

hmm did u use <img src="filename.jpg"> rite?

I dont quite follow you are you trying to like put an image on there and then put test from a different file around it somewhere?

EDIT:

I messed up... lol... I thought you meant what I said earlier I reread it and get it now. Yeah... Im pretty sure you need to use the code <img src="file.jpg"> but add this so you can size it and with a validator it wont screw up... (i have never had anything bad happen with out the sizing codes but ya never know) <ims src="file.jpg" width="x" length="x">

Please do not double post....use the EDIT button. - Moderator

for the <img> tag, there is no length attribute. it should be height="##" ;)

and if you need to change a post, you can within 5 minutes- just use the "Edit" button.
