security settings prevent pics loading

Guest

I am taking a class in web page design, and we are learning html. I inserted
a picture, but on the web browser it shows up as a red x in a box. My
security settings are at medium for internet and low for inTRAnet. I don't
know how to view this picture. I tried to save the file (in notepad) as an
..hta, but that did not work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

What probably happened is that when you inserted the picture your HTML page
referenced it as being in C:\Windows (or something like that). When you view
the webpage on another computer it looks in C:\Windows for the image and
can't find it.

Try using the View - Source menu option in IE. Does that help ?
Can you right-click the red cross and get properties ?

Regards,

TimH

Yes, I can get properties and the address for the properties of the pic is:
file:///C:/Course%20Technology/10114-8/tutorial.01/tutorial/dube.jpg, which
means nothing to me. I think the path must be wrong. I expect I'll be
learning about that shortly! I guess this post is now in the wrong place,
because it doesn't seem like a security issue. I don't know where else I
would post it, though.
Thanks for your help.

The image is *not* in your web site. It is referencing your local computer.
You haven't said what web design program you are using, but you should go to
one of their support forums or newsgroups and find out how to properly
import or place the image into your actual web site.
