HTML - Image Hyperlink Problems

Hi i am new to HTML and have a really basic question. I am trying to teach myself HTML from scratch and came across adding a hyperlink to an image.

i found this HTML below on a practice web site and undestand that the
<a href="default.asp"> is where the hyperlink links to, but when i changed this to a website for example www.google.com it didn't go to the google page it just said error why is this?

Also the "smiley.gif" where does this come from if i wanted to change the picture that you click on how would i do this ??

I'd be so grateful if anybody could shed some light on this for me thank you,
Angela
<p>No border around the image, but still a link:
<a href="default.asp">
<img border="0" src="smiley.gif" alt="HTML tutorial" width="32" height="32" />
</a></p>

Hello.

I'm putting together my first website, and trying to learn HTML basics. One specific problem I'm having is getting an image hyperlink to refresh my web page, rather than opening a new browser tab/window. For example, the code I'm using is...

<a href="http://mywebsite.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg" border="0" alt="My website"></a>

When a visiter clicks on the image, a new browser tab/window opens. I want the page to refresh, instead.

Can someone provide me with a solution?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I have an image inside a div, when I try to make the image a clickable hyperlink the image disappears and there is nothing to click or see.


Code:

<div id="google"> 
<a href="http://www.google.com/">                       
<img src="google_icon.png" height="23" width="23" /> 
</a> 
</div>

I tried an alternative way by making the Div a hyperlink with the following code...

Code:

<div id="google"  class="hand" onclick="location.href='http://www.google.com';" target="_blank">  
<img src="google_icon.png" title="google" height="23" width="23" />  
</div>

This works except for a couple problems...1st when hovering over the link nothing is shown in the browser status bar and 2nd, the target="_blank" isn't working.

Here is a link to my site http://chasehearn.com/

On the left hand side there are 6 images (one is not showing) which i would like to make links.

I made the first (from the left) one work by making the Div that contains the image a link, but I can't get the link to open in a new window and I don't like how the browser (i'm using chrome) status bar doesn't show anything when hovering over the link.

The 2nd icon (which can't be seen) disappears whenever I add <a href></a> tags around it.

The images are in the correct folder.

Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

this is my page http://web.vtc.edu/users/cjb06271/CI...nal/order.html

there are several things I would like to happen.
1. the right collumn background to be where the right collumn should be(so other links in navbar)
2.The test between the roach pictures to be alligned with the top rather than bottom of pictures (so smaller windows can see)
3. When you size the window smaller than the text, a scroll bar appears, and when you scroll the background no longer exists. If I put it on auto the background will only go as far as the text does.
4. (nice but not required)The cocroachs to be alligned to the left and right of the top bar respectively, and the text in the middle.
5. (nice but not required) the right column background image is being cut in half (as does the top one if you size small enough). any way to make the images ignore the collumns?
don't worry about the colors I will be changing them soon

There are a couple of problems on the page in IE that I don't see in Firefox.

1. The blue bars at the top and bottom are both only supposed to be 4px tall, yet for some reason, IE is making them stretched out around 10-15. I imagine the problem is because of the clear.gif inside it, but I haven't a clue why since I have the cellpadding set at 0 on all sides.

Code:

<tr>
<td background="images/site/bluebar-top.gif" height="4" style="bluebar"><img src="images/site/clear.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0">
</td>
</tr>

Code:

td.bluebar
{
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

2. Not an image problem, but a question about IE: I have table cell rollovers in the navigation bar that work in FF but not in IE: Does IE not support td cell rollovers?

Thanks in advance!

Gahh! I tried to make my own image map but for some reason it's just no working! Can someone look at the code and see if there's any mistakes or anything please? I tried taking out the decimals but that didn't seem to help it either.

HTML Code:

<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/dent%26oralsurg.htm" COORDS="0,0 3.5,2.5">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/cossurg.htm" COORDS="6.7,0 10.5,2.5">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/emergoxy.htm" COORDS="3.8,2.6 6.8,4.4">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/vet.htm" COORDS="0,4.5 3.5,7">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/custom.htm" COORDS="7,4.6 10.5,6.5">
</MAP>

<IMG USEMAP="#MyMap" SRC="http://www.freewebs.com/dent-gas/homeboxes.gif" BORDER="0">

So I have to make a basic html site for a class project and I am having some browser problems.

On IE some of my images are not showing up (red X), but they work fine on Firefox and Safari.

On Firefox none of my links are changing color when they are visited, but they are on IE and Safari.

Ideally, I would like my site to work correctly on either IE or Firefox, but not necessarily both. What are some possible fixes for my problems? Thanks in advance

I have never encountered this problem before and can't figure it out.

I've created an include file that holds my left nav. It's a table that holds various images that are links. But the last two buttons (that are simple and small gifs) I've created will not render at all in IE6. In view source it shows the table tags fine, but strips out the image tags for those buttons. The really weird thing is that everyone else can see the images on their computers in Firefox, IE6 and IE7, Mozilla, etc...

Also, if I take the actual links out of the href tag and leave it blank, the images show up fine.

What the heck is wrong with my browser???

Hi everyone,

My website, currently at http://www.mlcprop.com/index2.html , is having issues. They a

1.) There is lots of extra space at the bottom when viewed in IE.

2.) The drop-down menu (click "apartments") doesn't display properly in IE; there is supposed to be a green background. It displays fine in Safari/Firefox/Opera however.

3.) I'm having trouble getting the bottom section to work properly. There's supposed to be a green gradient background for the content area that fades out to the page's brown background color. I did this by creating a central table cell with a tiling background image of the green gradient that's very tall and narrow. However, some pages are VERY long... such as thisone. How do I account for this? I tried matching the cell's background color to the image but it doesn't seem to match, or should I just make my tiling green background super long to account for this? I didn't want the file size to be huge.

The lower left table cell ("footl") doesn't seem to display properly either. There's supposed to be an image there, a subtle shadow effect. It displays fine on the right ("footr").

Can anyone help with any of these?

Thanks so much,
Tatiana

Hey,

I've recently set up a small e-bay business, and have had a few problems in designing the listings.

Mainly with this one;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE:IT&ih=019

I want to replace the solid blue colour that's running around and between the tables with a tiled image, but after two hours of failed trial and error, I have no idea what to change in the HTML without putting a background image on the whole page.

It's soo frustrating,
Can anyone please help?


Thank you,
Jeremy

I have a issue with a google checkout add to cart button. I've added the code from the site and the button appears in the top left hand corner of the screen. I've tried opening the files in frontpage and drag and dropping it, but for some reason the button doesnt show there. If any can help please do. Thanks

This is the Html i've got in the page for the part.

Hello Everyone!

I am having a problem...

I have a specific colour I would like my header to be but the spacer image is another colour??

I have tried removing the spacer image but it does not go away, I have tried removing nesting or clearing cell heights but they just mess up the entire page.

Is there no way to just change the Spacer Image Colour?

Thanks for you replies in advanced

Hi All,

I have a problem that seems to only occurs in IE (i'm currently using IE8). Basically, i have web pages that consist of a header, content area and a footer. I am trying to stretch an image to be displayed as a left and right border in the content area. the image is not a solid color, so simply setting a border property would not work. In all browsers but IE, the image stretches just fine.

The site is heavily table based due to the fact that it is written for a CMS known as NetSuite. A lot of the tables and html are created by the CMS and are very difficult and tricky to modify.

You can see the page in action at - http://staging.marware.com/iphone-cases/iphone-4-cases

I have tried numerous combinations of height:100% and different positioning values with little help. One of the problems is that the height of the content area is dynamically set.

The code in place now looks like this:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1020" height="100%" align="center">
<tr style="height:100%;">

<!-- left side image -->
<td style="width:9px; height:100%;"><img src="http://www.marware.com/images/body_outer_border.png" border="0" height="100%" width="9" /></td>
<td valign="top" width="400" align="center">
<!-- right side image -->
<td style="width:9px; height:100%;"><img src="http://www.marware.com/images/body_outer_border.png" border="0" height="100%" width="9" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

I confess that I am a total 'noob' at 74 years old, and will probably get flamed for this question - but here goes - I have taken the on-line HTML course for basic set up and have built a web page; however, it is so bad I do not want to launch it until I can get some issues corrected.

PROBLEM 1 - I built the file in 'notepad' text writer. When I look at my internet at 'open', 'brouse', 'index.html' file, and select 'OK', the features show up as I want; however, when I upload the file to my web page, the image is a square with a red X.

I set up the image by adding the following line to the file:

<img src="xxx.jpg">


PROBLEM 2- In spite of adding <p> </p> at the beginning and ending of my paragraphs, after uploading, the webpage displays each paragraph of text as one long line of text.

Can someone advise where I am going wrong?

Bob
