Hi all.

I occasionally list items on ebay. To do this I use the web authoring tools that come with Word, pasting the HTML into the ebay description window.

What I now want to do is include my own images in the HTML.

I can add images from my HD using the Insert/Picture menu in Word. This produces the following HTML string.

<P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC= "file:///c:/documents and settings/sark/my documents/imagename.jpg" WIDTH=428 HEIGHT=321></P>

Am I right in assuming I just have to replace the blue text with the full Url of the same image once it has been uploaded to a web based image host or, is there some other method I need to be using.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

No, I think you can point the images to a place where you store the images, just have to change the IMG SRC to match it, as eBay uses pure HTML, as long as you create the pages, view the HTML code, and manually change the IMG SRC path to match where you have the images, it should work.

Heres an example, just view the properties for the images should give you a rough idea how it may work for you.

Thanks Duffy.

That's much appreciated.

By the way.. you don't need the <P ALIGN="CENTER">

or the </P>

You could do without the width and height also

also you need to host them somewhere that allows remote linking, most free webspace providers don't allow this.

the webspace your isp gives you is usually the best place to put them.
