HI, I'm trying to put changing text onto a website created in iWeb. I have created the file as an animation in photoshop, uploaded it to the server and used the following code to place in an html snippet. When I check the published file in a local folder the text does not appear. Do I have to go live before it shows ? Can anyone please advise ? The coded is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.morganbentleyltd.co.uk/media/flash.html">
<head>
<title>flash.html</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body bgcolor="transparent">

<img id="BrowserPreview" src="BrowserPreview.png" width="300" height="100" alt="" />

<img id="BrowserPreview" src="BrowserPreview.png" width="300" height="100" alt="" />

Where is the PNG file in relation to the html file you created (is it in another folder

and also you have no </body> tag at the end

Hi,
The animation file was created as a psd file not png. Do I need to convert to png and if so would the png file be the complete animation ?
If so do I upload to the media folder on the server ?
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure who (or what) suggested that this was a valid namespace. Where did this come from?

The key here is the src attribute. This has to point to a valid image. In this case, you're saying "use BrowserPreview.png which is located in the same directory as this HTML file." So, you need a PNG named "BrowserPreview.png" and it has to be in the same directory. However, you can always change the name and location. Changing the name is easy but the location can be a bit tricky for some to wrap their minds around. Locations are relative to the file being edited. So, if you had that image in a directory called "img", you'd change that src attribute to "img/BrowserPreview.png". Does that help?
