-- IMAGES: Off-site Syntax? - 11/3/2003 23:45:47
Hi,
I'm still using FP 2003 Beta (waiting to see if there'll be some Thanksgiving shopping days price drops before getting it - LOL). I'm having problems with right syntax for:
A posting at Craiglist (they accept HTML) -- let's call this site "A" -- has pretty basic table layout (copy/pasted all code view from FP page file), in which I have an <img src... to two images at my own domain (let's call it site "B"). Purpose of course: Wishing it to show up by-referral, so to speak.
It did fine the first day I created the FP file and I posted it, but then I checked today and the images area is now a white-box-w-cross - in both FP and site "A."
__________
Q: What is the needed syntax to make sure it shows up? Some blind spots I'm not getting about this:
-- Is "<a ref..." with site "A"s homepage necessary before the "<img src.." Only if it's a clickable image, right/wrong?
-- What order should Border, Height, Width be in? Doing a View Source on "A", I notice that the syntax isn't in the same order as in FP - i.e. Border=0 precedes <img src, Width and Height follow it.
In short: Can someone please give me the EXACT full code and sequence for this "Site A has images that are actually on site B's server" so that neither FP and/nor the site can mess up it up.
Thanks much.

Thanks for reply. Sorry I didn't acknowledge answer earlier, but I didn't get any e-notification of your reply. Came by today to check if there were any.
Now, if the image is not on the index page, let's say it's on "Page5.html". Does "full" URL mean directing to the page it's included on (Page5.html) -- or -- the site's database directory? Reason I distinguish is that all images are as of now together in one what FP first named as "My Site" directory along with all .html etc.
So should it be:
A) <img src="http: // www. website.com/Page5.htiml/image.gif"...
OR just:
B) <img src="http: // www. website.com/image.gif"...
_______________
This also brings up the issue of site organization:
Q: Should all images be put into FP's by-default-created "Images" folder -- regardless of what page/s they are on -- or in the core directory? And if put in that folder, would the <src... have to point to that file, i.e.:
<img src="http: // www. website.com/Images/image.gif"...
Perhaps more of a personal work efficiency choice (ie. it can get really cluttered if all types of files are all together), but I'd like to know how most people and pros do it. Either way, I need to get the syntax right.
Sorry for the ingnorance, but this is the FP beginner's forum, yes? :)
Thanks.

Go with "B" .... just as long as you reference whatever directory (or folder) your image is actually in. "Page5.html" is not a folder .....

Yes. I usually put every graphic on my site in an "images" folder. There are exceptions, but that's the norm.
