Did you copy and paste that from somewhere?

I clicked on the HTML tab and it's really messed up -- turned into a link within the image bracket tags.  I know that sometimes when you copy from Word that it sometimes does some weird stuff.  No problem though -- just curious.

Let's see if this works...

David,

What do I do to make it work?  It was cut and pasted from a Word file but I have been doing it that way for years.

The issue is that Word automatically creates that into a link.  When you copy it from Word and paste it into the editor here (when posting), it's pasted as a link.  It's technically working the way it should.

Example (copied from Word):

To get around that, you need to copy it from something like Notepad.  Actually, a better method for copying the link might be bring up the picture in the browser and copy the url from there.  Then it won't have all of the formatting that is included from copying it out of Word.

Example (copied from the browser):

Example (with the img tags):

Here is what happens when I do it your way. by copying directly from the browser and adding the img

http://home.sc.rr.com/saddlemire/SBD%20Dauntless%20Build%20Photo%207.jpg" border="0" />

Here is what it looks like off the browser without the img.

Then if I type the entire line it works.  Does it have something to do with the fact that the information from the browser is underlined when I copy it even though it does not show here?  Do I have to do all that typing all the time?

Thanks for the help.

Richard
