I want to have a picture link to my list of charactors. I save that file (cast.htm) into the workspacewebsites folder. now I have a problem...
when the site loads it will either make the whole first few words links or, will make no link at all...
here is the HTML code..
<a href="cast.htm"><img src=imagescast.jpg>ps. yes I know it's .htm...no L should there be an L...is that why it doesn't work.

What are you using to edit your webpage? Where is your webpage? What's the address of it? Without any sort of info at all, it's hard to help you - I've had that happen before, but I use Dreamweaver, and when you do an image link command, if you don't click off of the image BEFORE you start typing text in, it will extend that link into the text - which can be annoying. Let me know what you're using, and where your page it at, and I can help you more with it. Also make sure that yes, it *IS* named .htm, not .html, also make sure that you upload your cast page to the workspace/webpages folder. ------------------

A couple of things:
1) Don't use MS word, it's auto formatting makes a mess of HTML code.
2) While you don't need the leading slash, having it there is good practise, you'll need it when you start putting links and images on your archive pages. (Putting " around the SRC's is a good idea too.)<a href="/cast.htm"><img src="/images/cast.jpg"></a>

OK...thnx u all...
but I use Word just for messing with the layout and stuff...I use NOTEPAD for actually messing with links and pictures and things. Can anyone reccomend a good page builder program that I can get, LEGALY, for free?

Well, the html scrap you posted:
<hr>
<a href="cast.htm"><img src=imagescast.jpg>
<hr>will do what you describe because you have no closing tag.
at the end of the part you want to be a link you need : </a>Also, there's a good chance you don't need the leading slash in the url. Just img src=images/cast.jpg ------------------
