Where do you have the HTML file located? With that value for src value for the image, you need to have the GIF file located in the same folder as the HTML file. If you've got the HTML file on a web server, the GIF file has to be right there with it. The server can't load it off your local disk.

What's the exact problem you are having?

i cant see the banner when i upload the code....the file is on my desktop.
i am trying to upload the banner on a website.

blue60007 · 06-17-2006, 05:41 PM

The server you are uploading to can't load the GIF file from your desktop. You'll have to upload the GIF to the server along with the HTML code.

I even tried coping the code and pasting it in a Notepad, and then saving it as a .html file, still it didnt show, can you eleborate more in an english language, i dont really understand what you meant.

Gman, when people are trying to help you, please don't dump on them because you can't understand what they are trying to do.

I had to read your post several times before I could figure out what you are wanting. It sounds like you want to click on an image on your desktop and go to your site. You can't just click on a gif on your desktop and have it take you to your site. You can create a html file something like:

home.html

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>Home Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<a href="http://www.WatchesUSA.vstore.ca/index.php"><img src="addesign.gif" border="0"></a> 

</body>

</html>

Then you can click on a blank space on your desktop,
select properties,
select desktop,
select customize desktop,
select web,
select new,
browse and find your html file,
click OK all the way out.
You can customize the color of your desktop also as it is going to be white to begin with.

Whats saved on your desktop? The image or the HTML File?

I think what he wants, Mairving, is to have a banner image at the top of his webpage that once clicked upon, it will redirect to his homepage. If this is the case, then Blue has it right. You need to either replace the address of the gif to the full address, or place it in the same folder, as stated above, as the HTML file.

blue60007 · 06-17-2006, 08:53 PM

The .html file you said you created from notepad has to be in the same location as your banner image. If you said the image is on your desktop, then that HTML page has to be on the desktop as well. What I was trying to say before is, if you have an HTML file (with the code you mentioned) on your web host / server then you also have to put that image with that HTML on that web host/server. The web host can't load the image off your desktop, it has to be located on the server.

ok, basically i want a banner on top of a different site promoting my site, once a person clicks the banner it will take them to my site.

Blue you want me to put the code on my desktop next to the GIF pic right?

Thanks!

blue60007 · 06-17-2006, 09:48 PM

OK, I see now. You'll want to put the image along with the other site's pages.

If you want to see it work, put the code on the desktop next to the image and load the html file in your browser (a double click will do).

If someone else is controlling the site, have them your image with their html pages on their web host. Otherwise, you'll need to do that. Of course, the other site's pages would have to have that line of code inserted in the pages.

gmanz73 · 06-18-2006, 11:00 AM

wow...lol yeah it worked!!!!
Thanks!
but now how can i put the file on my website?
do i press attach images?

blue60007 · 06-18-2006, 04:24 PM

You will have to upload the code and image to your website. I'm not sure how your host does it, but they might have some type of file manager that you can log into and load the pages up.
