+Wienerdog Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 When writing up a cache page how do I post a picture on the page? I'm note talking about "spoiler" pics., but pictures I have taken with my didital camera. Or downnloaded from a friend. Mostly ones I took myself. Also how do you accomplish this without loosing all that resolution. The ones you download with a log find always look scritchy! AND can I post a picture I have gotten off the internet? Like a picture of something referring to the cache. A theme item for example. I have seen EraSeeks pages with photos and pictures of paintings. I don't know how to do this. Any input would be great Thanks, Donna (WD) Quote Link to comment
+leatherman Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Upload an image to the page. In the upper right of the page. The image will be a link in the middle of the page. Click the link. Right click on the image, and select properties. Highlight the image address and right click, select copy. Type the following on your cache page. <img src=""> Place your cursor in between the quotes. Right click and select paste. Now the image in the link will appear on the cache page. Pepper playing nice! Mokita! Quote Link to comment
+Wienerdog Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Gee thanks Leatherman! I am going caching the next day or so and then I will practice doing this. I have a new couple caches planned in the near future. Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Say, Leatherman, what's the HTML command for adding a link to a page? The forum pop-up does it for you, but I want to add a link to one of my TBs page. OG Prophetically Challenged (or is that Pathetically?) Quote Link to comment
+BeachBuddies Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 You can add links using this syntax: <a href="http://some-page">Your Label</a> The easist thing to do is find a web page you like, right-button on it, and select View Source. The HTML code can then be found, though you may have to search a bit for it. -BeachBuddies Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Thanks Beach, I'll give that a shot! OG Prophetically Challenged (or is that Pathetically?) Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 WOOHOO! It worked! You're da bomb! Now how can I add a backgroung picture? Is that posible on a TB page? OG Prophetically Challenged (or is that Pathetically?) Quote Link to comment
+leatherman Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Back ground is like the add a pic to the page directions. Just use this line. <BODY BACKGROUND=""> Place your picture address in between the quotes. I haven't used it on a TB page. Let us know how it works. Pepper playing nice! Mokita! Quote Link to comment

The page will display the alt text that you wrote so they know what should be there. Here's how you do that: <img src="picture.jpg" alt="Pic of Cloe the Wienerdog"> Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 YES!! It did work on my TB page. Thanks Leatherman. OG Prophetically Challenged (or is that Pathetically?) Quote Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I am having a problem... I have inserted the HTML code in the Long Description box but it still shows the green background. It showed the new background once or twice but that was it... Yes the "I am supplying my own HTML" box is checked... Here is the code: <body background="http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Grounds/2446/bluemarble-bk.gif"> Quote Link to comment

You might try uploading the picture into your profile or the cache page, then linking to it's new address here at geocaching.com for example: <body background="http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/75166_300.JPG"> Jim Quote Link to comment
Swagger Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 quote:Originally posted by evergreenhiker!:I also like to add the alt tag ... FWIW, the HTML 4.01 specification specifies that the ALT attribute is REQUIRED in the IMG element. It's not like not using it will break a browser or anything, but it's technically supposed to be there. -- Pehmva! Random quote: Quote Link to comment
