quick link test

Dwarfer · 19-11-2006, 10:36 PM

go here: eBay.co.uk: Pearl Harbor (2001) VhS (item 250051629433 end time 19-Dec-06 14:48:00 GMT)

are the pictures working for you? if not, why not

they work in frontpage (like dreamweaver), i created them and they worked fine, the image link is unchanged but ebay fails to show them

any suggestions appreciated

Did you do the option were you browse to the files then ebay uploads the pictures? is there an option to get the images from a hosting site, so instead you go to somewere like photobucket.com get an acocunt, host your pics there then put the links on ebay as i am sure there is an option like use my own hosting or something similar.

Its not options, its html.

I dont know html enough to say for sure but I dont think the width and height a required, plus you have the height set to 32 when the image is only 27.

Like I said, I dont know html! But its something I would probably fiddle with if it was me in that situation.

for a pic with link in html its something like [url = url here ]text here [/url] i think???

I though he meant the pics near the buy now part which are done via the options when setting the auction up.

Each image is coded like this....

Code:

<A href="http://www.imdb.com/rg/title-tease/tinyhead/name/nm0000685/"><IMG height=32 src="http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/03/35/12t.jpg" width=23 border=0></A>

The top one (pearl harbour dvd cover) is like this....

Code:

<A title="Pearl Harbor" href="http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0213149/Ss/0213149/img0033.jpg" name=poster><IMG title="Pearl Harbor" height=140 alt="Pearl Harbor" src="http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/68/97/95m.jpg" width=96 border=0></A>

Looks fine to me.
Maybe you cant link to imdb like this?

edit, maybe you can! edit again. Now its gone again! Gods knows whats going on.

In fact I just refreshed the ebay page and its fixed! I see the images

Willz you're thinking of BBcode type stuff, in HTML code for images is:

Code:

<img src="http://www.mysite.com/file_directory/image.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="My Image, w00t">

xHTMl has to have the tag closed off:

Code:

<img src="http://www.mysite.com/file_directory/image.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="My Image, w00t" />

Obviously the site name, directory, image name and type, plus height, width and alternate text will change

well i knew you could host images like that, but i got the images from imdb.com and all i had to do was copy/paste all the info including photos.

i have too many to do individually, but the pics work fine in dreamweaver but not ebay its weird its like ebay is blocking them (for their own profit one way or another)

Have you tried something like ImageShack® - Hosting

im purposely avoiding image hosting sites coz it will simply take way too long to gather all images, upload them and set the links, there are about 13 images per ebay listing. multipy that by 20 listings = 260 images lol oh dear i suddenly feel the need for my pillow

You can signup for free on imageshack, that way all your uploads are in your own folder.

they work 100% fine when you click on the image (coz its also a link) once your on the page (where the pics are) its then stored into your cache /hdd so when you go back to the ebay page it somehow works fine untill you delete your internet cache files
