previewing images

[bobkolb]

I am a newbie to HTMLPad.

When I preview from the editor, I see the web page and the blocks where images are to appear, but the preview does not pick up the image.

The image is in a sub-folder. How can I configure the program to show images?

Thanks,

Bob K.

Do you use server-side preview? Or are you previewing simply an HTML file saved to your local disk?

Most likely the problem lies in the image path format. If you have say images\ subfolder under the folder containing the html file, then in your html file you should reference to your images like this:

Code: Select all

<img src="images/myimage.gif">

this would be *wrong*:

Code: Select all

<img src="/images/myimage.gif">

Thanks for answering. I am just trying to preview files on my local hard drive. I didn't know you could preview from the web.

So I have say index.html that I am working on in the root index, and the images is in the sub-directory: \pictures\myimage.gif

So how do I tell the program to look in that sub-directory to pick up the myimage.gif?

Thanks,

Bob

Your HTML code should say

Code: Select all

<img src="pictures/myimage.gif" ...
