HTML Link Boxes

[int0xicatedxluv]

Hey guys... I'm trying to make some banners for my photography page that people can put on their myspace pages, but I can't figure out how to achieve this with the HTML.

Something like this:

http://www.linkpartners.com/getbanners.html

I already have my image & everything ready to go, but how to get the code into the boxes like that under the photos is beyond me.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

you should use Photoshop to creat it, or even flash.

to create the HTML code to go under the photo?

Not sure how that would work.


I have the photo ready to go. I really just need to know how to go about getting that HTML code to go under it that people can copy & paste the banner & link onto their pages

so what you are going to need to do is get the image hosted, then you need to change the image code to fit the hosted image and have the code be readable for the html reader, < would be &lt; and so on.

You should be able to just copy the text on that page and just replace the links with your personal locations. So...

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/yourbanner.jpg" alt="Whatever you want that is a description of what your site is" width="how many pixels wide is your banner?" height="how many pixels tall is your banner?"></a>

What's all this crap? It helps to understand what the code does:

<a href="LINK">CRAP</a>
Any "CRAP" will be clickable in the browser window as a link. Notice how the image is nested inside of this tag? Doing so turns the whole banner into a link!

<img border="0" src="LINK" alt="DESCRIPTION width="X" height="Y">
This displays the image with a no-nonsense border of 0 pixels (i.e. no border.) The src (source) links to the image wherever it may be on your website. Alt tag allows people that have to use screen readers to be able to have a clear DESCRIPTION of what your site does. Also, the alt tag will usually pop up a little DESCRIPTION box when the user hovers over them for a few moments with their mouse. Height and width should be self explanatory.

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah, and MySpace should be able to read that HTML file and display it properly so all they have to do is copy and paste the text into the desired location on their page.
