problems with image appearing in page

[MsCrow]

Hello

I am having the most weird problem at the moment with my recent coding, I don't even know if it's a css issue. This test page - <url removed> - should have am image of a chair just randomly plonked in to see if it works and it just doesn't show up. The image is uploaded to the /images folder as chair.gif and it's referenced right. Can anyone help?

Hi there MsCrow,

instead of...

<img src="/images/chair.gif" 

...try it like this...

<img src="./images/chair.gif" 

...which, just in case that you cannot see it, has a period - ('.') - before the forward slash. ;)

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your advice, of course it works! But I have no idea why, can you let me know if you have time? Thank you

Hi there MsCrow,

actually, what I should have posted was...

instead of...

<img src="/images/chair.gif"

...try it like this...

<img src="images/chair.gif"

No need for the period, just remove the forward slash. ;)
