>I am probably the only guy that has a collection of hand saws on a wall right next to a collection of purses. I tend to stick to 1920 beaded purses and this one is later and mostly metal. And don't get me started on pumps or Steletto heels

>I tried to do that and they did not light up as active? I see what you did didn't work either
Wow!!! That didn't work.

>Told you I am not an expert. However I think you could go with the img src routine and give your host name/ and then your space name/ and then your picture name.jpg and get the job done.

You fixed it

>Ernie, looks you fixed it. What did you do to fix it?
I was going to suggest that more often it's not eBay not allowing you to pull images from outside servers sources, but the outside server not allowing an eBay page to pull it up.
Does what I said make sense? eBay asks your photos hosting site to get the photo and the photo hosting site doesn't give it. This is common and is a way that sites avoid "bandwidth stealing". many earlier photo hosting sites did this, like I said to prevent bandwidth stealing, but now realize that most people usign the photo hosting sites NEED to do this and reluctantly have allowed it's use.
Happy Woodworking!

>It comes down to bad script? tinypic.com allows you to post to Ebay and other sites. and even writes script for you to link to there site. but the script was bad or somthing was wrong. A friend from another site helped me write another script that was shorter and I only had to copy in a short part from the host site. I guess I need some HTML classes. I think I can get them at work. I hope that is why my boss pays for them. Thanks for all the help. I got the changes done and it works I need to work on resizing pictures I thought I made them 6 inches wide but they are bigger than that. cute Purse huh?
