The easiest way of doing this is to click on the picture with the left mouse button, hold the button down and drag the picture into the "status bar" the on at the bottom of internet explorer that has details in it when you hover over a link or similar.

If the status bar isn't visable it can be shown by going to view at the top of the window and the clicking on status bar.

This, however, will not work if the image links to a different location. It will only goto that location, nor will it work in mozilla firefox or netscape.

If this occurs and you want the picture from the link you would have to look at the source code of the website.

Before i go on I would like to point out that images on websites should be respected as the authors own work or similar, and to take without asking is no different from stealing, not just from the creator but also in the eyes of the law.

To look at the source code of the website you can either right click then view source, or click view at the top then click source. Once you are in the source code you will probably be blinded with HTML or a similar language. what you are looking for is an HTML tag that looks like this;

the SRC= bit tells you the location of the image, as this is the only bit you are concerned about i won't bother explaining the rest, but if you navigate to this location the image will display on the page in the same way as if you dragged it into the status bar.

Please remember when taking images from websites to respect the authors/creators wishes and always ask if you are unsure as to whether the images are protected by copyrite or if the author simply doesn't want you to use their images.

The pictures on your computer have no URL by themselves because your computer is not a Web Server. The best thing to do is to upload your picture to a web site or sharing service.

--

um excuse me im the person who asked the question but what if the website you need to use doesnt have a way to do that the website is meez.com thank you -- You will still need to upload your picture to an online server. If the website you want to use, in your case meez.com, does not offer a way to upload pictures, you have three options: 1) Set your computer up to share files to the internet. I don't recommend this because you must maintain it, it is not particularly secure on your site, and if your computer is off or not connected to the internet, your pictures (or other files) will not be shared. 2) Investigate the ability to upload to your shared space on your ISP. Most Internet Providers offer upload and file sharing capability. You service provider's support section should show instructions on how to do this. 3) Use a Photo Sharing site to store your pictures. The down side of this option is the advertising that often is associated with a photo sharing site, but many of them are free and make it easy to share your photos. A few of these are: * http://Flickr.com * http://zooomr.com * http://picasa.Google.com * http://photobucket.com * https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html These all have pros and cons, but it will give you a place to start.

How do you find the image source to insert into an HTML document?

The image source="is the URL to the location of the image". If you right click on any image on a web page, and select Properties, a window will open that contains the Address (URL) of that image. This URL is the image source.(You could copy and paste it into the browser, and see it) If you have an image on your computer it must be uploaded to the server to be displayed on the web page. Once it has a home on the server you will have the address (source) The address (URL) will look like this for example: http://yourhostwebsiteurl./yourimage.jpeg. Once you have the URL for the image you can insert it into the HTML document using <img> tags. It will look like this: <img src="http://yourhostwebsiteurl./yourimage.jpeg"> Broken down it means < imgage source = (the value) the address (URL) of the image where it is located / (for the name of the image) Yourimage.jpg>

How do you make a link with a pic for piczo?

Any image link is done the same way. You need the part of the code that contains the url, the part that contains the image and the part [optional] that contains the words that show up when you hover over the image. < a href= " url"> is the first part of the code. The next part is < img src= " image url"> That is the image url. If you want words to show under the mouse when you hover you add alt=" whatever you want to say"> after < img src=" image url"> So the finished code will be < a href=" url">< img src=" image url" alt=" whatever you want to say">
