I am assisting my sister in creating a webpage where people can use her graphics on myspace profiles ..... We need to make the html for the image viewable on the page so it can be copy and pasted by the visitor but I cannot recall how to make the code viewable on the page .


Does that make sense ? I have no idea what to type into google to find what i'm looking for or I would do that instead of asking .... anyway any help will be greatly appreciated . I am banging my head against the wall eagerly awaiting responses .

No that is not what I am referring to .... i'm not that dumb .


The code for the image needs to be viewable on the page so it can be copy and pasted by the user without viewing the source or properties .

I think you could just type the code as text on the webpage, or just copy and paste it as text on the webpage. They are gonna copy and paste it into the html on their myspace page, and as long as the code is correct it will work. Is that what you mean?

Right but the code doesn't show it is seen as just more of the code so if I put in


<a href="http://geocities.com/xxxxxxx" target="_blank"><img src="http://xxxx.photobucket.com/albums/mm262/xxxxe/xxxxxx.png" border="0" alt="xxxx"></a>

instead of the code showing like I want the image is displayed again (obviously).... I want the code displayed so other users can copy directly from the page and paste into there own html .
I tried putting the code in a form but it didn't work correctly either .

Thank you for the assistance Yantra ... it looks like I need to replace < with &lt; or something ...... which is extremely inconvenient considering I have 100's of image codes i'll have to do this for .
I hope there is an easier way .... ohwell

You got it to work that way?

Do you know how to get rid of frames easily? That's My most recent headache. I think I will have to do whatever I have to do about 250 times for each page of my site. yes it sucks.

It looks to me like you're refing an http directory. When I was learning the basics of html, I was told to keep pix in the same directory as the main page ... it makes laoding quicker, and the files are easier to find. So if you ref a hard-drive directory instead it should cure the problem.

Re: your search and replace thing being a pain. I use Edit Pad Pro from curously enough www.EditPadPro.com this allows html editing and has a fully functional search and replace feature, and of course it's a hell of a lot quicker than MS Word.

Wouldn't the coding you need be on this page? Steal it.

You can try this - it looks nice, but it takes a little basic learning

<HTML>
<body>
<form>
<INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="30" value="<img src=&quot http://www.yourlink.com/theimage.jpg&quot>">
</form>

first line - Its html tag. yeah onto the next line

second line - <form> this allows you to put a form in your page and make input boxes and buttons

third line - heres the fun part.
input type="text" : leave that be. Its making it a input box
size = "30" : size of the box. Change size at will
value = "" : put your url of the image but change the quotes to &quot

make sure when you use &quot you leave a space after it.

I know this looks like much, but it will look professional and when you get the hang of it, it's nice. If you have any more questions....send me a message.
