Re: [OT] HMTL help
Adrian, Rodney,
I think I have got to the bottom of this, but I don't understand exactly
why...
The very first line of my file had the tag "<html>" (no
quotes) and
wasn't closed anywhere.
* If I create new file from scratch without this line then everything
works perfectly.
* If I delete this tag from an existing file, the target image fails to
load.
* If I copy the *file* and rename it, the image load doesn't work.
* If I open the suspect file and copy the *contents* to another
Notepad file (without the <html> tag then all is good :-)
Somehow the PC is remembering that a certain file contained a certain
tag and this stays even if I duplicate the file and rename it.
It's all very odd, and very confusing, but at least I have now got to
the bottom of it.
Thanks again for all your help !!
Tim.
