HTML and Images

For the beginners HTML course in the image section: I'm doing exactly as the video instructs and my image isn't showing up. Just a little default picture of a mountain shows up. Could it be the settings on my web browser? Please help. Thank you!

Tianah Rose -

The 2 most common mistakes when images are not showing up are a typo with the file names or using the wrong file path.

So triple check that you are using the exact name of the image files in your HTML, if that doesn't resolve the issue, check the file paths.

Here's a tutorial on file paths that should get you going.

Let us know how you are getting along with this here in this thread.

Hi Tianah

Can you copy and past your code in here so I can see if I can be of any help.

Thanks

Just to make anybody who is using a Mac and has TextExpander installed.

If you are having problems with img file paths etc, it may be that TextExpander is capitalising the first letter in img or whichever path you seem to be having a problem with.

You can set TextExpander to ignore certain applications for example your code editor of choice. Go to TextExpander SYSTEM PREFERENCES / EXPANSION and set (Default is to expand snippet groups in) Then choose ALL APPLICATIONS, EXCEPT and check the box next to your preferred code editor.

Also, this being the most important, go to OPTIONS which is the next tab to EXPANSION, and if you have CAPITALISE NEW SENTENCES checked be sure to once again choose ALL APPLICATIONS, EXCEPT and check the box next to your preferred code editor.

I've been caught out by this so I'm sure someone else maybe.

I figured out the problem I was having with embedding images but now I am having a difficult time embedding video.
