I would like to know generally how does one go about finding an IMG tag in URL format?
For instance looking at an image on a web page how would some one go about finding out what the IMG tag of that image is?  Smiling

You view the HTML source of the page in your browser and search for image name.

i dont really understand the question, but from what i 'think' you mean you could right click the image and go to properties or as Nibbler said view the source of the page and search for the images name (view > page source)

  Help
Take the text ad at the top of the following web page for instance:
http://www.bleu-wizard.com/dinosaur.
What would you say given your experience working with graphics is the full IMG tag for
that text ad with the values at the end of the IMG tag interpolated? That is with sample variables/values such as tref, win_name, etc. interpolated.
 Help
To make determining this easier here is the IMG tag URL with sample values at the end prior to being interpolated:
http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=31459&bid=76104&tref_DIF=1&REF=&=1&WIN_NAME=null&enparams2_tref

Before anyone asks me here is the definition of "interpolate"

interpolate
One entry found for interpolate.

Main Entry: in·ter·po·late
Pronunciation: in-'t&r-p&-"lAt
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): -lat·ed; -lat·ing

2 : to insert between other things or parts : INTERCALATE

An img tag provides the path to an image and the name of the image. The url reflects that path and name. Here is the url to your avatar: http://www.freeimghosting.com/images/Aaron/p1128557142302_106x150.jpg

In this case the image name is p1128557142302_106x150.jpg.

The path is everything prior to the image name in the url.

An image tag does not point to text.

How anyone could interpolate the values without access to the data source is beyond me but maybe it's doable.

Yes, that is the correct first part of the Image tag URL prior to the completed interpolation of the second part.

please see the other thread where the issue of text versus img has been discussed.

If there is an image, you can often right click the image and select view image... or on a mac I think you can hold down the mouse and get what windows users would refer to as the "right click menu" where the view image option is available. At this point, the address bar should show you the URL (ie address) for the image file. Since the ads you are displaying are TEXT there is no image to right click on and no url for the image (as has been stated numerous times in the other thread).

Also, as mentioned in the other thread, it is probably not going to be possible to figure out the missing parts of the URL... especially since at this point there does not seem to be anything missing.

What would you say given your experience working with graphics is the full IMG tag for
that text ad with the values at the end of the IMG tag interpolated?
Two issues with that page. The first one that addresses your question:

There is NO image on that page whatsoever. It's like asking Where's Waldo and what is he wearing... he's not on that page either. Many people have explained to you that text does not an image make in your other thread. Images in html is written with <img src="filename.jpg"> tags. There are none in your source code.

Second issue has to do with your source code itself. In Firefox, instead of the parsed page shown in IE, I see the html source. Looking at the source code, I don't see the usual <head> <body> tags. Not sure if that will fix it but you should read up on proper html coding.

Stat Checker's customer service could have been in error when they told me that I would need the full "Image" tag URL. Regardless it appears that what I require is the full tag to the text ad in URL format. Also thank you for all of your help so far.  Smiling

Before Rowan locks this thread  Smile, I am going to repeat what I told you in the other thread ... just go ahead and create your own banner/image graphic and use that for the linked ad. If Stat Checker needs it to be an image to process the stats, then just provide it one. It's easy enough to do.

leighsww I won't be locking this as long as it doesn't go in circles Very Happy

DoctorLight I still don't understand why you can't use BidVertisers stats.
According to http://www.bidvertiser.com/ you can:
Quote
Generate detailed reports to monitor your ads performance
Use the Publisher Center to generate detailed online reports to monitor your ads performance, including the number of page impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and the total amount you've earned.

Have you tried logging in there and looking at the stats they provide?

    This message is directed to Rowan. I only knew to look for an image tag based on what Stat Checker's customer service had directed me to do. I appreciate all of the help I have gotten so far. I do not like that you have closed my other thread. It's probably true that Lunarpages customer service will close this one as well. It was not my intention to insult anyone. Only to ask for a little help. That's all really.

leighsww,
    Creating my own image for the ad sounds like a great idea! Thank you  Smiling
Now comes the task of going about doing. What ammendments to the pre-existing Bidvertiser  Javascript code will I will have to use in order to link my own image to the ad? Where in the ad would it need to go? I have dozens of images uploaded to freeimghosting.com  I plan on using one of those.

DoctorLight , you had 2 threads open on a similar topic which is more than enough.

Anyway at least we are getting somewhere now Very Happy

What about my question about using the stats that BidVertisers provides.
Have you tried that?
It makes a lot more sense to directly use those stats and should make life a lot easier for you.
If you haven't tried that please do!

In your other thread you said
Quote
Stat Checker's customer service said that that's all that I would need to input in order to effectively check the statistics of the banner ad on my site.

How this applies is that you are using a text ad, not a banner ad. A banner ad would have an image and would use an IMG tag. A text ad has no image and does not use an IMG tag.  So, yes, to check on statistics for a banner ad, you would need to tell them where the image is located.

Maybe you should go back to them and ask what you need to track a text ad.
