Can't publish photo on cache page

[+sktqch]

I've followed all the steps, uploaded the picture to the page, copied the html code for insertion into the cache page script but no joy.  I end up with the html code and url for the image on the cache page.  Could it be that there's a problem since I'm trying to do it with Chrome?

I guess you missed a step .  The instructions are here, and there's not much to do, to just slap a picture on a cache page.

 

Place the URL for the photo inside an "IMG" tag.  For a photo I uploaded to my cache page, https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/b1bcbf47-c2b8-45a8-947c-1b790edb66ac_l.jpg,

the code is this:

 

<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/b1bcbf47-c2b8-45a8-947c-1b790edb66ac_l.jpg" />

Make sure that you're using the URL of the image file, rather than the URL of a page that displays the image. For example, here is a page that displays a picture:

https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=00ade7bf-022b-4387-9ccf-7edb6e6023ef&IID=74faf9f0-fc73-49cc-a55a-b8385b404a1c

 

And here is a link to the picture itself:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/74faf9f0-fc73-49cc-a55a-b8385b404a1c.jpg

...and of course, make sure the editor is in "HTML mode" or whatever they're calling it now.  The editor changed just a few days ago, and I don't think the help text has been updated yet.

Yup I checked HTML, and made sure I was quoting the correct file.  One reason I was wondering about the possibility of Chrome misbehaving is when I went back into the web page source code I found this.  

 

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.geocaching.com/seek/image.aspx?imgid=5034229" />&lt;img src="<a href="https://www.geocaching.com/seek/image.aspx?imgid=5034229">https://www.geocaching.com/seek/image.aspx?imgid=5034229</a>"/&gt;</p>

 

That shows that the actual url for the image plus the html code to show it has been tripled up.  It seems to me that it should only be placed there once.  I didn't click paste or ctr/v 3 times, only once but it showed up tripled.  That happened with all 4 images I tried to post.  Weird.

 

I can't actually find a way to directly edit the source code on the page or I would delete the second and third iteration of the html image to see if that would fix it.

That looks roughly what I'd expect by pasting HTML when the editor isn't expecting HTML.  It adds extra cruft to make sure it displays just like you entered it.  Even if that (oops) isn't what you wanted.

 

If you have a clean copy of your HTML, I'd try starting over: delete the text in the onlline editor, make sure HTML is turned on, then paste your good copy.  Good luck.

More clarity, less brevity

Thanks, I do indeed have a clean text only copy of the document, something I learned to do in the early 80s when working with dos and basic.  I'll get on that tomorrow and see if it works.
