How to make the icon work

[satimis]

Hi folks,

I have an icon WELCOME2.gif downloaded on /home/satimis/html/ folder. But I can't make it to work on my simple homepage. What line shall I enter on /home/satimis/html/myhomepage.html file?

I tried something like <A HREF="file:///home/satimis/html/WELCOME2.gif">WELCOME</A>
etc.

It can't work. Only the word WELCOME displayed on the homepage. Please advise. TIA


On browser URL box;
file:///home/satimis/html/WELCOME2.gif

displaying it and working.


Furthermore how to control its rotation speed and the size of this icon w/o re-edit it on graphic software.

to include an image you need to use the image tag

HTML: Select all

<img src="images/WELCOME2.gif" width="" height="" alt="alternate text" />

soryr for the second post, a <a href> is for hyperlinks only, not for images.

take the above bit of code, replace

images/WELCOME2.gif

with the path to your image, and insert the desired height and width of your image in the width and height quotes.

the alternate text does not appear in the browser normally, only if either the image does not display, or the user has a text only browser

Hope this helps

Hi Craig,


I got it done. The icon is now working. Thanks.

Not necessary providing path to the icon because it is on the same folder/directory with the .html file.

Is it possible doing something on characters using HTML commands adding features such as blur, shade, etc. without going to graphic editing software? I did lot of graphic editing on Photoshop in the past. It is time consuming. This time I have to run GIMP to do it. They are the same in operation.

Is there an easy way?

As far as i know there is no way of doing this through HTML

You would probably be best of posting in the Graphic forum with this question

All shadows/blurs/etc need to be done in Photoshop/similar.

Thanks for your advice.


In the past I did a lot on Photoshop and other graphic editing software running on Windows (>10 years ago). Many web graphic can be created. But it is quite time consuming. I'm now searching whether this is a new way after 10 years. If no solution found I am compelled to do the same work again on GIMP running on Linux. I don't have Windows box here
