The pictures are on Craig's List's servers. You would have to
absolutely reference them in order for them to work. Also, that may
still not work if they are using a Mod Rewrite to thwart bandwidth
thieves.

Your best bet is to contact them. They may have some sort of script or
API you could use.

Hello,

Craigslist does have the option of putting pictures.
What I want to do is go to the products web page ( my site )
that has a full discription and pictures of the product.
but when i copy the source code and paste it the pictures do not point
to pictures on my server, I guess what i need to do is learn how to
generate a page
with the url path to the pictures and that does not include the link menus.
i think CL would have a problem with that. I dont think i know enough at
this point that you can help me but if you can point me in the right
direction that would be great.
I have copied and pasted the source code into dreamweaver and made the edits
that way.

It's like this:
<img src="myimage.jpg" alt="an image on this computer" height="100"
width="100">
and
<img src="http://www.example.com/someimage.jpg" alt="An image on another
server" height="100" width="100">

The first image references an image that is on the computer that is
hosting the web site, whether it be your computer, or a hosting company.

The second image is one that resides on another server, like Craig's
List. Unless the other site gave explicit permission to reference
images like this, and use their bandwidth, then you are an image theif.
It doesn't make any difference if you took the picture on your camera
and uploaded to the other site from your computer, once it's on the
other server, it's theirs.
