embedding a picture / image that resides at another web address?
Hi,
If I enter this HTML into a story, it does not display my picture:
<img src="http://www27.brinkster.com/mikeysa/mmbw2.jpg" width="256" height="192">
Instead is dsiplays this placeholder but not the picture, like this:
Why is this? Is it not possible to display an image that resides on another web server? MUST I place the image in the imagepool - cause this is not really what I want to do.

since the embedded jpg is quite large (190kb), it just needs some time to load. (because this can be quite annoying for people with slower net-access, you may consider creating another/smaller picture for the 256/192 size.)

Nope it doesn't work.
I have done what you have suggested and still, when I view this post, I only see a placeholder. Even if I rightclick the placeholder and select "Show picture" it still only shows the placeholder. If I paste the URL of the picture into my browser, it does display the picture - but not on the post, not even with "reload".
I have tested this with Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape Navigator 6.2.3 (btw - Netscape doesn't even show the placeholder)
Any advise? Please help !

if I copied the URL in my browser:
HTTP1.1 STATUS 403 Remote Access to this object forbidden This file cannot be directly accessed from a remote site, but must be linked through the Brinkster Member's site.

ok, that might be the problem - but I dont get that message.
I have tried moving it to geocities and the URL for the image there is : http://www.geocities.com/mikey_sa/mmbw2.gif and it still didn't work - strange.
Gues I'll just have to upload my pics to the imagepool.

i had a geocities-page too an it was impossible to embed the pictures form this page into another page or guestbook or whatever.
