David, I'm differentiating between a link as in src= and a hyperlink as in href=. For a link, the browser does indeed do another HTTP GET to retrieve it, but if the result is a 404, the rest of the response is discarded and the image is rendered as a small box with a red x in it.
On the other hand, if the image was the target of a hyperlink and it got a 404, the error page would be displayed (unless the IE "friendly" option were selected). Example: http://peacham.homeip.net/notthere.jpg.

In the case below, the image is not embedded in the HTML but is simply a link to the image that requires an HTTP(S) GET to retrieve. With a relative URL like you used, it just constructs the complete URL by appending the current page's URL to the front, so "images/xxx.jpg" becomes something like "http(s)://www.host.com/app/images/xxx.jpg" assuming the HTML is located at http(s)://www.host.com/app. David Fritz Schneider wrote: >By having a page that is essentially: ><html><head/><body> > <img src="images/xxx.jpg"/> ></body></html> > > > >Fritz Schneider wrote: > > >>If you have hyperlinks >>to images, as opposed to HTML pages with images embedded, >> >> >> >How would you embed images inside the HTML rather than using hyperlinks >to the image? > >David > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
