well I cant figure out why the eagle2 pic wont show. the box is their for it, the code is identical to the 2 pics that do show, except the align= part.

does this look right?

<title>closet creations</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: blue}
h1 {background-color: transparent}
h2 {background-color: transparent}
p {background-color: blue}
</style>

<h1>welcome to ward&brenda,s closet creations </h1>
<h2>here are a couple pics of our latest creations</h2>
<p>since we do not have a work shop, we use our walk in closets to house our saws and power tools. hence the name closet creations</p>

<p align=center><img src="Bear Head.jpg" width="300" height="200" alt="Bear Head"></p>
<p><p align=left><img src=eagle2.JPG"width="300" height="200" alt="eagle2"></p>

<p><b> my sweetie made the bear head, its my fav <br> <b>the eagle was kinda interesting to make, but took a long time to do<p/>

<p>
This is my first crack at a web site. <b>so welcome all</b> and bare with me!!! hopefully there will be good things coming soon. and my photogrphy will improve!!!<p/>

the .JPG in the second image is in upper case because that is how it read when i loaded it to the public_html folder.

I tried changing the name of the pic using .jpg( lower case) and it didnt make a dif so i reloaded the pic and changed the code. to JPG, no dif.

any thoughts!!


thanks, ward.

Yes, you are missing a quotation mark before "eagle2.JPG".

comp geek01, that was the prob. i read that code a 1000 times, and probably would have read it a 1000 more before I saw that.

thanks soo.. much.

I think I was too focased on the . jpg thing.

but I do have to say, I am actualy seeing my site in the code "in my minds eye as it were) so thats kinda a plus.


thanks again, ward.

WardD, what application are you using to write your HTML in? Just curious, because there are many tools out there that will check your code for problems like this...missing quotes, unclosed tags, etc. It'll save you hours of searching!

I use HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/), which includes the HTML Tidy program. You can also find out more about Tidy at SourceForge (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/), if you want to use it without HTML Kit. Tidy will make sure your code is at least syntactically correct so you can spend more time worrying about content and layout and that other fun stuff!

I would assume (or hope) that he's writing his web pages in Notepad or a simple text editor. IMO you should always LEARN the language before you have a program correct it for you.

yes, I am using note pad. I took a look at front page but it seems to have its own code. so I figured I had better learn the basics so I had a bit of a clue as to what these other editors where all about.

maddog posted a link to learn java, I had a read through it but figure I will keep to the basics. as my typing improves and I get better at making sure I dont miss any < " </>,s then I will move on to bigger better idea,s.

I will check out the new links tonight after work. thanks guys(and gals)
