   Hi -

   I am trying to show a DIV only on the home page. Right now I am trying to add an image to the DIV. It shows text just fine. I am using the following code but only the alt text shows up no image.

   <!--my static header experiment 08_07_08 -->
   <?php if (is_home())
   echo '<div id="mystatic">
   <img src="images/siteimages/static1.jpg" alt="horses collage 1" />
   </div>';
   ?>

   I am just learning all of this so I am open to suggestions.

   Thank You,
   CO

   BTW I also tried:

   <div id="mystatic">
   <?php if (is_home()) echo '<img src="images/siteimages/static1.jpg" alt="horses collage 1" /> '; ?>
   </div>

   Thank Again,
   CO

   It sounds like your browser can't find the images you want it to show. Try using absolute rather than relative links. Instead of:

   <img src="images/siteimages/static1.jpg">

   use something like:

   <img src="http://yoursite.com/images/siteimages/static.jpg">

   Avoid relative links in your templates except in your stylesheets.
