Subject: imbedding pictures into HTML
Posted By: c_bananas Post Date: 8/19/2003 7:44:27 AM
Hi

I would like to know how to imbed a picture into a HTML page. i need to send this HTML page via email and it would be preferable that these pictures are not downloaded from an external site, and rather that they are "in" the HTML itself.

How do i do this?

Many Thanks
Jason

Right, firstly, you cannot embed an image into html.
html is a markup language, it does not get compiled with all images into one file.

To out am image onto a page, you can use the IMG tag as follows:
<img src="name or address of image" alt="alternative text displayed before image loads" />
If you want to e-mail the html page, you have to e-mail the image as well.
Just attach both to the e-mail

Good Luck

Jason,

I hope you're still around to see this.  I've only recently been frequenting the forum.

If you are using IE 6, you can, while viewing your HTML page including the image, select File/Save As and use the Web Archive file type.  This creates a MIME-formatted file.  You can send the resulting .mht file to your recipient(s).

The recipient will have to use IE to view the file.  I don't think any other browser supports this.

Hope it helps,
Ken
