Geocities

[CWisgood]

When I put a picture in a webpage and put it in Geocities, it shows the image as file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/FrontPageTempDir/wph4fcgi.gif

Does anyone know why and how to fix?

you need to upload the picture to geocities first. your trying to link to it when its on your computer.

Nope, I'm trying to put the santa picture from neopets there.

Erm...Try downloading the image to your computer, uploading it to imagebucket or somewhere that freely hosts images and then try to refer it from there.

That's really strange, are you sure you're using the correct html?

Code:

<img src="http://www.geocities.com/username/imagename.gif">

Also keep in mind that Geocities doesn't deal well with files that have spaces in their names and things like that either.

I just made the web in frontpage and put the html in geocities.

If you've been inserting the images in from your C Drive when you've been using Frontpage then the html you will be copying and pasting probably has a C:/ URL as opposed to the Geocities URL. I would suggest looking through your html that you are pasting and where it may say:

Code:

<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/FrontPageTempDir/wph4fcgi.gif">

Try changing it to the URL on Geocities that you actually have the image uploaded to. It should be something like this:

Code:

<img src="http://www.geocities.com/username/wph4fcgi.gif">

You'll just have to alter it so it fits the URL of the image on Geocities.

Other than that, I'm a little out of ideas

Figured that out!

When I look the html, it looks right, but the page doesn't. So I pressed preview and what do I found? *fancy music* http://www.geocities.com/cwisgood//blah.html. I put the pages and images into a folder and ta-da, it was fixed. Thanks everyone!

Congratulations of figuring it out Good work and good luck with your site in future!
