Embeded images - can't get to work

[Donna Kempster]

Hi
I am looking at redesigning our home page and I want to embed some images into a fragment on the home page. This is the html I have tried but I am only getting an outline box with a red x in it. I've read loads of threads on here and have placed the image in additional files and the preview html folder. I'm sure it's something really simple but I've been on it for ages now and I can't see anything else to do...

!!<<a href="http:\\www.littleeskimo.co.uk"> <img border="0" src="littleeskimo.co.uk\products\castles and hanging tents\BuntingUSAThumb.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="abc" /a>>!!

any help greatly appreciated.

Slashes are the wrong way round.

Use / not \

You src=".... is also incorrect.

Have corrected for you below:

!!<<a href="http://www.littleeskimo.co.uk"><img border="0" src="http://www.littleeskimo.co.uk/products/castles%20and%20hanging%20tents/BuntingUSAThumb.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="abc"></a>>!!

You should also avoid using spaces in folder/directory names (ie: "castles and hanging tents" - try "castelsandhangingtents" or "castles_and_hanging_tents")

As well as the useful tips above, if you enter the text that is in the src="" attribute directly into the address bar (if using full paths), the image should be displayed. This isn't the case with this image, which indicates that the paths in your <img> tag and the actual path of the image are different. Double check both paths ensure the spelling (including case) is identical.
