Janno Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm just beginning with HTML. I wrote a short script, containing just an image and some text.The script works fine in Internet Explorer.I had it validated with the W3C-validator, and the syntax is OK.But when I do use Firefox the picture is not shown.I'm using XP SP 2 on a P4-3000, Norton Internet Security is running,both browsers are updated to the newest versions.I cleared the cache. I changed the picture. But no img in Firefox.What is wrong?Here's the script:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title>OEF1</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body bgcolor="#eeebaa"><div align="center"><img src="C:\Documents and Settings\Jan\Mijn documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen\fluitengeltje.jpg" alt="dit is een plaatje"></div><br><br><br><br><p align="center">My Bonnie lies over the ocean.<br><br>My Bonnie lies over the sea.<br><br>My Bonnie lies over the ocean.<br><br>Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.</p><p> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401" alt="Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional" height="31" width="88"></a> </p> </body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Try adding "file:///" in front of your image path: <img src="file:///C:\Documents and Settings\Jan\Mijn documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen\fluitengeltje.jpg" alt="dit is een plaatje"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_illusions Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 try using a relative link as well..put the image in the same folder as the web pagethen you can simply use this<img src="fluitengeltje.jpg" alt="dit is een plaatje" />if firefox isn't opening up images..try a webpage, if they dont work in any website, then you have images turned off.

To further the suggestion, create a directory called "images" in the same directory where your web page is and put your images in there. Then you can use:<img src="images/fluitengeltje.jpg" alt="dit is een plaatje" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can use:<img src="images/fluitengeltje.jpg" alt="dit is een plaatje" /> Which happens to be working! Thanks.Just a "dummy"-question remains:The syntax of the script has been validated (W3C) and proved to be correct.IE does work finewith the script, but FF did not.What's (regarding this simple script) the value of the W3C-validation?

Chocolate570 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You must remember: The W3C validator checks your syntax. It saw this:directory:\subdirectory:\name.extensionAnd said it was a valid entry--and it is.Also, the W3C validator is sometimes used more for aesthetic purposes---so you can stick a big ol' tag on your site saying "VALIDATED!"

holmedwa04 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeh, this is something you need to watch out for, i did it when I was first learning code, I used \ instead of / which will stop it working on FF, IE doesn't mind but it is not strictly valid. On a computer it uses \ but on the web it uses /.I don't really know why, but I am sure there is a valid reason behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
