Image Sources

When working with Netscape Composer it is also important to be aware of how to edit the code for an image source because, as with links, your system may add root folder information and create invalid connections to these images. It is also important to be able to link image information to an image so it is "linked" through your server, rather than making a link to an outside source.

A proper image source would be something like this:

<img src="http://cuip.uchicago.edu/wit/2000/picture1.jpg"> or <img src="images/picture1.jpg>.

If your image source has extra file information,

i.e. "c:/mydocuments/http://cuip.uchicago.edu..."

then you will need to remove the code before the "http://", you may also remove all the code up to the part which shows exactly where the image is, if it is in the same directory as the page that contains it, as shown in the second example above.
