Use of img tags.

[Dinner]

Ok, so I'm a fuctard but I can't figure out how to properly link a picture using the img tags. Another website I visit doesn't host avatars and instead asks that you link the avatar using img tags to their website. It's kind of cheap but I'm willing to do it if I can figure out how.

I'm assuing I'd use (img=url/file name)(/img) only with the correct brackets instead of parenthisis. I'm trying to like my avatar on this site to the other site using the picture in my user profile. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it.

edit:

I'm not sure if you are talking about vbulletin post or a webpage.

use this for webpages. http://www.pageresource.com/html/image1.htm

I believe vbulletin versions allow use of [ img ] and [ /img ] before and after the file details. Just elimate the spaces.

now how do you do that without out the line disappearing?

Isn't there an option when posting a new message, to ignore codes? Not sure where it is though...

[Skanky Burns]

No, but there is an option to not automatically parse urls, and an option to ignore smilie code.

HTML:
<IMG src="URL">

XHTML:
<IMG src="URL" />

BBCode:
[ING]URL[/ING] (ING = IMG)

That should be:
<img src="URL" alt="(ALT TEXT)" />

The alt attribute is required (provides alternative text/short description for when images are turned off), and tags must be lowercase.

Only if he declares it 'strict'.

Nope.
This also goes for XHTML 1.0 Transitional. The "alt" attribute is even required in HTML 4.01 Transitional. Considering the Apolyton forum pages are declared as such...

PWND!

On matters like this, I don't mind getting pwned. The pwner by definition is pwned, just knowing these facts.

You should also provide the width and the height, just in case some surfer comes in through a slow link, so his browser can render the rest of the page without waiting for the image to finish loading.
