Hello - I created my website on Microsoft Word XP with its "web-wizard" and the picture shows up there (it's a jpg I copied from a floppy disk), but online it show's up as a box with a red x in it.

I'd appreciate any help you have to offer.  Thank you!  Angela

Ok, the most likely problem is that your linking is wrong. Is it uploaded to your server and is the path in the html pointing to the right direction? e.g http://www.yoursite.com/images/hmmph.jpg

that may be ur problem Very Happy

The problem is probably that your html page is looking for the picture on a floppy disk.

As your floppy disk is not in the lunarpages server in Los Angeles, it can't find the image!

Just get rid of the bit which says a:/ in your code, and just leave the picture name.

That should work.

lol
'Did you ?'
'Most likely'
'Probably'

The question is easier answered by giving a link to your website to tell you WHAT your problem is.
The suppositions above could ALL be your problem along with one or two others. Being able to SEE your page, would give a better chance of getting the correct answer to your specific query   Wink

thank you everyone for your promt responses.  I saved the image from the disk to a folder and I uploded the image, but I'm not having any luck yet (I don't know if I'm uploading it to the correct place).  my website is www.indigoangels.com - I hope this helps - the problem is that I really don't know a lot about this stuff yet Rolling Eyes
