HTML and Scripting Image Tags and URLs

first topic...and a stupid one at that too.

Alright, i don't know very much about computers, but something's been nagging me for quite sometime. How can you get the html of a pic or gif, or anything? i really have no clue. i used to go to my yahoo mail inbox and check a button which would give you the html of what you had, but now Yahoo changed and it ain't there anymore*cries*

 

:sweat2: :sweat2: :sweat2: Heh, yes i meant how to get the HTML code of an image or something so that you can post it at other places...*cries* i hate HTML.

 

Hmmm, well I may be totally off base here, but I think you may mean URL instead of HTML. In that case, you right click the image and click 'copy image location'. Then you just insert the url (by pasting it) between the brackets in the code User18 gave you if you want to post it somewhere else.

 

Well the HTML code of an image would be the URL (often called address or location) of where the image is stored on the internet.

In all web browsers (Internet Explorer or Firefox for example), you can right click with your mouse over an image and select it's Properties (Left click on the Menu Option).

In the information box that appears you will be able to get the URL of the image.

For example, the boards.jp frontpage logo URL is http://www.boards.jp/images/header_left.gif and so:

In Internet Explorer it is the Address and would look something like:
Address: http://www.boards.jp/images/header_left.gif
(URL)

In Firefox it is the Location and would look something like:
Location: http://www.boards.jp/images/header_left.gif

I hope that helps.

 

Yes, that DID help a lot. :sweat2: :sweat2: :sweat2: heh, i shall now go use my new found skills. Thanks

 

Another note on that- unless you are making a site, and the image is within the folder or on the same server, you MUST put the full URL, which SlyDice explained pretty well above.

So, if it's on a board or e-mail, you're more than likely gonna need something more like this:

Code:
