Hi folks,
I have an icon WELCOME2.gif downloaded on /home/satimis/html/ folder. But I can't make it to work on my simple homepage. What line shall I enter on /home/satimis/html/myhomepage.html file?
I tried something like <A HREF="file:///home/satimis/html/WELCOME2.gif">WELCOME</A>
etc.
It can't work. Only the word WELCOME displayed on the homepage. Please advise. TIA
On browser URL box;
file:///home/satimis/html/WELCOME2.gif
displaying it and working.
Furthermore how to control its rotation speed and the size of this icon w/o re-edit it on graphic software.
B.R.

What do you want it to do? You didn't really explain that.
To have an image in a page you do
for a favicon it's
To have an image in a page you do
<img src='image location' alt='If it doesn't show up' />for a favicon it's

Is this page on the internet, or are you viewing it directly from your filesystem? If it's on the internet, then telling the page where the file is on your home computer doesn't do any good. Also, double check to make sure that the path you entered is a working path.

The icon works now. It is not necessary providing path to the icon which is retained on the same folder/directory with the .html file.

The icon is on the same folder/directory with the .html file, no path being necessary.
I'm now testing the webpage on the filesystem. After finish I'll hoist it on my Web Server. This is my first time after >10 years building a homepage, a very simple one. I did my work on text editor with coding.
Regarding graphics, can HTML coding works on it, such as blurring, shading, etc. on characters without editing the same on graphic editing software. Although I did lot of graphic editing in the past but it is time consuming. I have GIMP running on workstation including some other graphic editing software on Open Source. Could you please shed me some light? TIA

Well HTML isn't a programming language so, no you can't use HTML to do that. PHP has a pretty powerful library (the GD library) to work with images however.

PHP is NOT new to me but my knowledge on it is limited to building Web Server/LAMP server, NOT on graphics.
Just googling a while found follows;
Image Functions
http://hk.php.net/gd
GD Graphics Library
http://www.boutell.com/gd/
Smart Image Resizing while Preserving Transparency With PHP and GD Library
http://mediumexposure.com/techblog/s...and-gd-library
Image manipulation with PHP & the GD library, Part 2
http://www.phpit.net/article/image-m...-php-gd-part2/
Image Reflections in PHP
http://www.talkphp.com/advanced-php-...tions-php.html
GD Graphics Library
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GD_Graphics_Library
I'll take time going through them. Hoping that it is NOT difficult to learn. Otherwise better for me going back to graphic editing with software. At least I have experience.
I build webpage for myself NOT as profession. I only need a simple webpage introducing techical articles, no vedio, no music, etc. However I'm interested on coding NOT with mouse clicking around on screen. I may take time to learn PHP on graphic.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

I put following line on my single_page homepage, a file,
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
name the file "index.html" and put the file on /var/www/index.html
Then it works. The homepage can be visited on online proxy server with "https://domain.com"
What will be the difference between your suggestion;
