Images in HTML

[Nicolet301]

Hello!I'm a new student of HTML. Can anyone tell me how to insert a Microsoft clip art image into my web page? Can a person do that or are there rules against it? Thanks!

You will need to upload it, if you dont have your own website on a server where you can upload it at imageshack.us (not .com ext, trust me.. =\ ). Then just use <img src="linktopicture" alt="picture" />

Absolutely not! Section 314.C subsection 12.6 paragraph 7 of the Internet Code specifically states that no Microsoft clip art should appear online!But if you really wanted to, you would need to find a way to save your image as a web-accessible format (.jpg, .gif, .png etc), and then you would have no problems including it in whatever page you want. Both the image and the web page need to be online, not necessarily on the same server though, and the web page would need to reference the correct address of the image when you want to display it.

Thank you! I didn't know that. I did upload it as a .wmf file and put it on my site. My site is not online yet, but when it is, how would I reference the address for my image?

You can type in the whole address of the image like:<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg" />or if your images are in the same folder as your main page you could put<img src="image1.jpg" />but you should probably put an images folder in the same folder as your main page for organizational purposes.<img src="images/image1.jpg" />

You should reference to the directory that the image is in, compared to that of the webpage itself. Eg if you have a root directory with a folder called "main", and inside are both the image and the webpage, there is no need to specify a folder because it is the same as the webpage itself is in. Another one, if the image is not in that "main" folder but inside a new folder within "main", then the foldername of that new folder should be specified for the image.If that is to difficult to understand, study the (x)html tutorial, or search for how to target specific files within your directory by URL (it can be either absolute or relative, which the later one is prefered for local files)
