    Looking for some advise please.

    I have just used www.cooltext.com to create a button. I have copied the HTML code onto the page I want the image to show and have downloaded the PGN images into my image folder. This was then transferred using Filezilla. I have done everything as I would with a JPEG or a GIF image however I dont get an image showing on the page.

    Have I missed something really basic or am I biting off more than I can chew as a novice programmer.

    Thank you and a happy new year.

    3 reasons.

    1) Are you sure you have the correct file path for this image file written inside the html code.

    2) Can you see the actual image when you open it on your desktop. If not then it was not downloaded properly.

    3) Is your hosting account on a linux server? If so then it is best not to have any capital letters in the image file name. Change this in the image file name and in the html code so they match. If you used any capital letters in the images file names, they won't work if your html references them in lowercase.

    There may be other ways but if neither of these work post the file name and code here.

    Thank you for your response with perseverance I eventually got them to upload. Rather than place the images in my image file I placed them in the main directory and hey presto there they were. Lots of sighing and cursing pre acheiving it though.

    Looks like your file name location in the <img> tag is supposed to be located at....e.g:
    http://www.mydomain.ie/myimage.png

    If you have your image in another folder e.g called "images" then the location of that image file will be:

    http://www.mydomain.ie/images/myimage.png

    Note the images folder in bold (shown above) added into the images location to get the actual file to be displayed on your web page.
