  • Image does not show but link is there

    I have tried to follow the tutorials for showing images along side the text. An empty box appears (like a broken link) with the text but the link is active. Search page url is http://www.designerstexas.com/search/search.php

    I search for "piano" which has active images and html.

    On your page you have the image tag,

    So on this page,
    http://www.designerstexas.com/Nick_site/Nick_html_pages/19_century_piano.html

    You have this tag,
    <meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg">
    This is a relative URL.

    So the resulting URL to the image is this,
    http://www.designerstexas.com/Nick_site/Nick_html_pages/Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg
    Which is a broken link on your site.

    You probably want an absolute link, like this,
    <meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="/Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg">

    Also you don't really want to use piano1.jpg as the thumbnail image. The image is much too large (1000 x 600 pixels). 100 x 60 would be a better size for a thumb.

      I have been unable to get the thumbnail relationship to work so I went to the meta data system.

      I have updated that link as you suggested to my thumbnail image but it still shows broken while still linking.

        You have a new and different mistake this time,

        Your thumbnail link is now,
        http://www.designerstexas.com/thumbnails/tn_19_century_piano.jpg%3E%20%3Chead%3E%20%
        (notice the rubbish at the end of the URL)

        This is becuase you have made a simple syntax error your HTML code.
        <meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="/thumbnails/tn_19_century_piano.jpg>
        (you failed to close off the string with a double quote)

          Works great when I do it right.

          Thank you.
