Im working in windows xp pro.It seems I cant find the absolute location of the pics and music files on my pc to insert them after the IMG SRC tags and the like.If I open up my pictures...when I right click on a particular Pic I go down to properties and what I get there is the url of the entire file rather than the specific one where that particular pic is located.So what goes after the IMG SRC tag then?
for the life of me I cant get this done!Ive transfered all the images to my website folder so I dont have to start it up with c:/......I give the images the proper extensions,be it jpg,jpeg,or gif.
I can still only see pics that I link to other pages,but I cant see the ones in my PC.
I even changed my editor,first using acehtml6 and now cse html validator.
still no go-Im thinking it could be my browser settings somehow-I use both mozilla firefox and IE,but I dont know which setting it could be/.
If anyone has any idea please let me know.

AFter a second read I would suggest in your website folder, you place your html files such as index (your home page) also in that folder you could create another folder called images. This would mean that to put an image in your index file, you would put img src="images/nameofimage.jpg"

If the html file and the image are in the same folder then you could use img src="nameofimage.jpg"
