Image not displaying in browser

My image is not displaying in the browser and yet I seem to specify the correct url. What might be the problem? Here is the image tag: <img src="C:/wamp/www/simple/images/greener.png" alt="Grass" width="400" height="400" /> It only displays the alternative text "Grass". Where could I be wrong? Help please.

I assume that you're using apache webserver as part of a wamp stack. For security reasons most browsers don't allow http-pages to contain images with file-URLs so they just ignore them.

You should use a http-URL in your img-tag, not a file-URL.

That's a link to a file. It should instead point to a http://localhost... or use the file:/// protocol. 

http://localhost/simple/images/greener.png

(Note, I'm guessing C:/wamp/www/ is your webroot.)

Or:

file:///C:/wamp/www/simple/images/greener.png

Note, both of these only work if you are accessing a local file using a local server or local file using a local file. If you want others to get to it, you need to use a valid domain name available on your network or the internet at large.
