Hi
Can anyone help me with my little problem please
I have built a site from a template and all is working ok apart from.... there is a email me button, and I don't know how to make it come up with my email address

This is the code what do I do with it

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
<META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY><IMG
src="dhtmled0:(C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\night\images\email_on ._jp)"></BODY></HTML>:confused:

Thanks

You need to upload your email graphic to your site for starters,

It won't work if it's still hosted on your C drive,

so the code would read

<img src="http://www.something.com/images/something.jpg"> for example, oh and if you want to tell people who have graphics turned off in their browser what they're missing, use an ALT tag, like this,,,

<img src="http://www.something.com/images/something.jpg" alt="my pic">

This gives a description of what the pic is.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for that

New to all this and its a bit frustrating sometimes.
I have not published the site yet
so another question is do I change the code for all the images
(as said above) befor I upload it to the server ?

Thanks again:huh:

<a href="mailto:myaddress@domain.ext">
<img src="images/image.gif" alt="I am an image (thanyou very much)">
</a>

Though you may want to obfuscate the email addy, as email spiders will easily pick your address & you'll get spamed to death.

Yeah you'd need to change the code throughout all the pages to link to the graphics on your webspace rather than your C drive.

Can I ask what software your using 'cause if it's DreamWeaver, you can do this from within DW itself.

When selecting an image, simply set the location relative to the document (bottom option when inserting an image)!

When you next save the page, the image will be saved with a local path (instead of C:\\whatever\whatever\images )!
