Without the markup or a link it's impossible to tell but I'd bet you are using Windows backward slashes '\' instead of forward slashes '/' in your URIs.

Hi guys, this below is my code till now(i'm still a begineer and experimenting)(Html and Css)..The problem is still the same as the pictures arent loading in mozilla firefox.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="1.css" />
<title>Newbies Camping Guide</title>
<body>
<table class = "upper">
<tr>
<td><img src = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\campfireFamilt.jpg" width="300px" height="170px" alt = "Family at Camping"/>

<img src = "../My Documents/My Pictures/campSite3.jpg" alt = "ghjj">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h1 id = "hd1"><img src = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/NewbiesCampingWebsite/images/Picture14.gif" alt = "dfdgfh"/></h1></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class = "body">
<tr>
<td class = "navigCol">
<ul><li>
<a href="#home"><img src = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/NewbiesCampingWebsite/images/homeIconP.gif" alt = "edgtrgrhg"/></a>
<br></br><br></br>

</li></ul>


</td>
<td><img src = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/NewbiesCampingWebsite/56567657654.gif" alt = "dgffhfh"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class = " lower">
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br></br><br></br><br></br><br>
</br><br></br>
</body>
</head>
</html>


and this is the css file:

table.upper{width:1050px;background-color:green;height:130px;
margin-left:95px;background-image:none;}

table.body{border:2px solid black;margin-left:95px;height:600px;width:1050px;}

td.navigCol{width:180px;background-color:Gainsboro;background-image:none;}

table.lower{border:2px solid black;width:1050px;height:150px;margin-left:95px;}

#hd1{top:65px;position:absolute;font-size:65px;text-align:center;}

ul{font-family:"Algerian";font-size:24px;left:65px;position:absolute;top:180px;display:block;
padding:40px;color:black;}

a{color:black;}


n.b---i've tried changing the url slashes to forwards and not as they are in windows but nothing happened.The thing that is frustrating me the most is that when i do a simple html file and put an <img src = "vbbvbbbbbb" etc " inside it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the help guys

firstly, an image should originate from the webserver (this may be not a problem when developing locally, but later you will serve your page via server).

the easiest is a relative path from the file’s location, e.g.
<img src="images/homeIconP.gif" alt="edgtrgrhg">


you could also use an absolute path. here it only makes sense to query the webserver.
<img src="http://example.org/images/homeIconP.gif" alt="edgtrgrhg">


you can of course try to load local files, but this will only work for 1 computer (your own)
<img src="file://C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/NewbiesCampingWebsite/images/homeIconP.gif" alt="edgtrgrhg">

note that you have to specify a transfer protocol as well (it’s an absolute file path, after all)

Another thing that you can do is that you can put the images into the same folder as your HTML code. So all you would have to do to get it to work would be to do the following:

<img src="yourimage.gif" alt"Image" />


Understanding file structure will help you immensely as you get into your web development. Hope this helps!
