Html issue, anyone know?

shiroun · Dec 25, 2007

Been trying to do a small thing for RMXP, just as a test, and i'm having an issue.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title> Test Project </title>
</head>
<MAP name="mymap">
<AREA Shape="circle" coords="70,84,51"
Href="http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php"
<AREA Shape="rect" Coords="25,180,125,280"
HREF="http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=32399.0"
<AREA Shape="poly"
Coords="153,106,186,225,340,193,315,81,304,167"
Href="http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=32941.0"
<AREA Shape="Default" Coors="0,0,195,111"
Href="http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=35803.0"
<Area Shape="rect" Coords="421,18,470,276"
nohref>
</MAP>
<IMG Src="C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\My Pictures\untitled.bmp"
width="550" Height="260"
Usemap="#mymap">
</html>

I think the problem may be in the oline
<IMG Src="C:\Document and Settings\My Name\My Documents\My Pictures\untitled.bmp", or it could be because i don't have a
Alt="" in there, but that gives me a blank.

The error is a blank page, links are viable, but the rest is unviewable.

Image tags are relative to your HTML file's location. For instance, if your HTML file was in C:/Website/index.html, the proper way to insert an image is to make a new folder in C:/Website called images or img, put the picture you want in that folder, and use

Code:

 <img src="img/untitled.bmp">

with all the extras (map, height, width, etc) included, of course.

If you ABSOLUTELY NEED to have the picture in My Pictures, I think the file:// thing works but I'm not really sure.

As a footnote, please don't ever use Bitmaps. They're huge. Use PNG.

EDIT: Also, in your fourth [area] tag, you have 'Coors' instead of 'Coords.'

We all want beer to be a way of life, lol.

at any rate, thanks i'll try the image src, I was thinking on that, but then using coords I thought it might not work for revamping the picture.

Will try and edit.

edit: It comes out like this:

The links in it are live, but it isn't.

you can also use .gif or .jpg - but he's right.. NEVER use .bmp

You can't use file://, src needs to have a valid href. A browser has no idea how to follow a link based on the directory structure of your computer, which it doesn't have access to : /

If this thing is going on a web server, for something this simple stick your image in the web root along with your file as index.html, then your href is simply "image.bmp" or whatever. If it's not going to be on a webserver, I'm not sure where you plan to put it, but your href must be a url (i.e. "http://www.somewhere.com/path/to/image.bmp"). So you can throw it on photobucket, for instance, and then paste the url it gives you from there.

Also yeah never use bitmaps on the web.

if the full site isn't based on your pc, then you need to open up the proper ports for file sharing to the site, otherwise it won't show up as your computer has it blocked from accessing your images on your pc.
