did you upload the pictures?

are they in the same directory as the page?

are you using the correct extension (.gif/.jpg/.png) in the code?

could you post the exact code you are using and/or a link to the page?

make sure you have a file called littleguy2.gif uploaded to the same directory that page is in. I went to http://crossspot.net/gotfaith/littleguy2.gif and got a File Not Found error, which probably means that you didn't upload the image.

I actually don't see anything at all on the page, and in your coding you all some text and stuff. You have a script and some css stuff after the </head> tag.... all that stuff should be before it. And is your image showing up in your file manager? It's not your host that's the problem, something's just not going right with the code.

Just find where it says </head>. if there's anything with "script" or "style" in the code, that should all be before the </head> tag.

Well, you have three body tags:

<BODY>

<BODY bgcolor="#fe00a0">

<body onLoad="makesnake()" style="width:100%;overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:scroll">

You should only have one. Try combining the last two and see if something comes up.

the page shows up for me.

something I noticed is that your URL is case sensitive. so i did some poking around, and found your image. you have to use littleguy2.GIF, not littleguy2.gif

You still have to delete a body tag. ;) There's a random <BODY> in there, take that out.

you have this towards the beginning of the body section:

<font face="'Tahoma" color="#86ff14">

get rid of the single quote right before Tahoma

Found it!

Find your css code - all the stuff with the scrollbar attributes - on the line before </style>, you need -->. So it'll look like this:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body{
scrollbar-face-color : #FF66CC;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #FFFF33;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #00CCFF; scrollbar-shadow-color : #CC00FF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #FF66CC; scrollbar-track-color : #00CCFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #CC00FF}
-->
</style>
