Image does not show but link is there

[George P]

I have tried to follow the tutorials for showing images along side the text. An empty box appears (like a broken link) with the text but the link is active. Search page url is http://www.designerstexas.com/search/search.php

I search for "piano" which has active images and html.

On your page you have the image tag,

So on this page,
http://www.designerstexas.com/Nick_site/Nick_html_pages/19_century_piano.html

You have this tag,
<meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg">
This is a relative URL.

So the resulting URL to the image is this,
http://www.designerstexas.com/Nick_site/Nick_html_pages/Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg
Which is a broken link on your site.

You probably want an absolute link, like this,
<meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="/Nick_site/Nick_images/piano/piano1.jpg">

Also you don't really want to use piano1.jpg as the thumbnail image. The image is much too large (1000 x 600 pixels). 100 x 60 would be a better size for a thumb.

I have been unable to get the thumbnail relationship to work so I went to the meta data system.

I have updated that link as you suggested to my thumbnail image but it still shows broken while still linking.

You have a new and different mistake this time,

Your thumbnail link is now,
http://www.designerstexas.com/thumbnails/tn_19_century_piano.jpg%3E%20%3Chead%3E%20%
(notice the rubbish at the end of the URL)

This is becuase you have made a simple syntax error your HTML code.
<meta name="ZOOMIMAGE" content="/thumbnails/tn_19_century_piano.jpg>
(you failed to close off the string with a double quote)

Works great when I do it right.

Thank you.
