I have a small web site started using strictly HTML, no Front Page, and it mostly works. However I have a page devoted to pictures and some of the pics appear with the broken x window. These pictures are all visible and work great from my c drive. When I upload them to the website they seem to be broken. I have checked the location and the path is correct, names are correct. I have placed them in a table format and have played with some size settings and triple checked the path. One broken picture has alink to the larger full screen pic and the link works fine but the pic on thepage does not work. Need some IDEAS from some who knows html, I am just a beginner trying to learn by doing. The page address is http://w3.trib.com/~ltbreh/FAMPIC/2ndpictu/2ndpics.html

Your paths do look right. The only suggestion I could possibly give, if you are confident with your HTML development, would be to make sure your picture files are named exactly the way they are referenced in your HTML coding

familypic1.jpg AND FAMILYPIC1.JPG

Are two completely different files as seen in HTML, and have to be referenced as so.

Take a look at these instructions on tables:

http://bama.ua.edu/~slucas/HTML/btables.html

...and follow the links at the end of each page.

----
In your coding, anywhere that you have a width=100% or height=100%, you can remove those. 100% of the size is assumed by default.

Check your picture measurements. The 230 may be what is causing them to appear as a broken image.

The second row and second column picture "fits" within the size you allocated. (

) The third row second picture "does not fit" -- in fact none of the pictures "fit" within the space allocated.

Size requirements are very specific and the coding MUST match the size of the pictures or whatyou get is a red x where the picture should be.

I would suggest making sure that your spelling is exactly correct for the name of the pics and that the pics are located in the same place as the pics which show up. If you can, look on the drive, (server) where you uploaded to, and make sure they are actually there and where they are suppose to be. The broken icon you get indicates that the pic cannot be found, usually an indication that something may be spelt wrong, or the picture is not where it needs to be referenced.

1)The name of the files: Any space in the name or Capital / minor changes. E.g. Can.gif // can .gif
2)The files are all in the same directly?
You can try to use full URL to test the case.
For http://w3.trib.com/~ltbreh/FAMPIC/2ndpictu/purpiris.jpg
3)Try to upload once more the file to the ISP; Sometimes, there are some problems in the ISP, they will not load some pictures to your hmtl (even before it works.) Re-upload them will cure it.
4) You can search others site /forum for details on this kind of problems.
Or visit my site for the links: http://philenid.tripod.com
