Now first of all, I'm not on an apple. Now - img/logo.gif - doesn't load an image for me. However - file:///C:/Users/Sid/Documents/Project/img/logo.gif - does. Any way to make that as short as img/logo.gif?

Sounds like you've got a file path issue with your images.

The way it works is that you have to put your images in the correct folder relative, to your HTML file.

Here's an example:

Does that help?

If not, you can read up about absolute vs relative paths

I would like to make it to where I just put - img/logo.gif - how do I accomplish this. Where should the folder be created? Do I make a folder and just drag the html and img into that?

If I'm not mistaken, that should work. The location is relative to the HTML file. Therefore, so long as they're in the same folder, it should work. I had similar problems a few weeks ago.

Hope this helps
