<IMG SRC=""> doesn't show the picture from the source - why ? how do i fix ?

[shlomikalfa]

hey all

 

i'm kinda new to sites and everything to do with them so i have a noobish question.

 

-> when i try to put this source into an HTML page it never shows the picture but if i write the source in FF address and press ENTER it does show me the picture.... how can i fix it please ?!

 

-> if you want to see for yourself, please open a new text doc, and copy the following in, then save the file as .html and open it with FF.... it won't show the image!!! [after you will open the source manually by writing it to the address bar it will show the picture in the .html page you made it also... but not before!]

Hi shlomikalfa

 

This is called hot linking, some hosts disable it.

 

so people from other domain cannot link to ur images or other assets.

 

 

[shlomikalfa]

is there any work-around to show these "hot-links" ?!

Yes. Save the image you want to use on your own server (and use your own bandwidth). IMDB might not be too happy if you 'borrow' their image.

Yep. It's illegal. Ask them first.
