has anyone had a problem uploading an image, only to have it appear as html script in the content box?
if so, how did you resolve it?

more info please -
You should always upload images in Binary mode, not ASCII mode - if that's what you mean. -
When you go to upload a picture into one of your posts, do you click on the image button to upload it? I've never had a problem uploading a picture, and I always use the image button to upload. But I'm not sure what you mean? -
Ahh... if you mean it is uploaded to your site, PetLvr's advice is true.
If you upload it to other free hosting image such as flickr or photobucket, it should have no problem at all.

I'd appreciate more info..sorry for vagueness. When I upload an image to my blogger blog, I do hit the image button. But then the final expression of that data goes from a phyical digital image into script or text in the content rep. "box.". I understood Blogger stated they were having image upload problems, but the corruption could be mine. PetLvr, I am a newbie re. your language re. Binary code..could you explain that a bit more?

Binary is more for video, pictures, etc and ASCII is more for text files, php files, html files, etc. But, this is more or less when YOU upload pictures to a site using an FTP program - not from the clicking a button on a webpage, browsing your computer, and uploading an image .. it's kindof understood that it will upload it in the proper format.
It probably was a glitch or hiccup

We've established it's Blogger
First of all ..what format is your image .jpg etc?
Are you using a PC? -
It could be Blogger - I've had such problems in the past. Also, check your image is saved as the correct file extension and also check that the file name is all in lower case with no spaces etc - e.g purple13.jpg rather than Purple 13.jpg
I know it sounds silly but sometimes just opening the image and re-saving is all it takes. We run an online personalised photo gift business (Fabulous Photo Gifts .co.uk) and some customers do have problems uploading their photos - the cure is usually the suggestions above.
Hope that helps. Jonathan -
i just went thru the process of uploading an image to blogger, i can't see a place where it could really go skewiff, the only place where i can see script is if i'm in html view, and this will obviously show exactly that. I'm wondering what script you're seeing and am still curious what image format you are using, whether it;s some type of proprietry format.
BLOGGER UPLOAD PROCEDURE
Click on add image icon
Browse to image
Click ‘Open’
Click on ‘upload image’ button
Click on 'Done'
Make sure you are in ‘Compose’ view
It should be there
The only other thing is file naming conventions. Use underscore green_tree.jpg or Camel case GreenTree.jpg. I bet that's it....NO SPACES-
oh...as noted above by wonderdog
First rule of WEB = name files properly
green tree.jpg = green tree.jpg -
Hey Wow - this morning when I woke up i was just plain old wandadog..... now i'm wonderdog! I feel all super-hero and invincible (and its only 9.29am)
Thanks Acoustic - you've just made my day.

Could it be your image file too big that it sort of takes forever to upload, meanwhile you get to see the HTML code only.-
Ha ha - yes we get that a couple of times too. Our site says we accept uploads of up to 10Mb in size but peoples ISP's vary as to what they allow (we've found) although some large files do get through on an email.
I think peoples connections might fluctuate and either loose the connection or just hang the upload process.
If they're images for a blog, they don't want to be that big - no more than 72dpi and 300 pixel width max is fine.

Thanks, folks...Got it and appreciate your skills and help.

ok...what was the problem?

You know what...there is an annoying uploading image at Blogger, and I was just reminded why I hardly ever use it any more.
I had to rename the file and then upload it 5 times. -
Blogger has just fallen over on me 15 times
I can't believe that something that Google would purchase such a bad product and not fix it properly -

Yes, that's why I use Imageshack for images on my blog
