sorry for the delay, I'm working, and my daughter also just called me (she's having some throat problems and just wanted to talk), but I'm sending it to the correct address now.

Just thought I would say
You can use img close tags with strict xhtml
Code:<img/>
The Guy That Moderates
Yea, but that is still not a closing tag for <img> (such as what the OP posted before)
Code:<img ...></img>

Yes it is. <img /> is directly equivalent to <img></img> in XHTML. It's just shorthand.Yea, but that is still not a closing tag for <img> (such as what the OP posted before)

From what I see, I think that the others may have missed that you "don't quite understand the whole directory path issue completely yet;".Originally Posted by wanderinon
It may be your whole problem.
The directory structure issues are the same as they are for finding and using files on your computer.
You could have dozens of files named background.jpg in any of thousands of directory locations on your computer.
Your web page file could also be in any of those places on your computer.
When you tell the web browser <body background="background.jpeg">, it makes an assumption that the background.jpeg file is in the same location as the HTML file. It will not go looking for it in the c:\[some path]\my documents directory.
As a first attempt, try putting the background and logo files in the same directory as your HTML file.
Hopefully that fixes things for this learning experiance.
After that, a lot depends on what or how much style you want your programming (HTML is just a programming language for displays) to have.
If you pile everything in your main directory, it becomes a mess where it is hard to determine what is current, what is old experiments, and what can be thrown out.
You have to decide on what kind of structure you want.
Frequently, people create a new directory for each project. Depending on how complicated the project is, it may have directories under it to contain the graphics or other sections of the project.

P.S. I am also a relative newbie to web coding.
