so I am trying to place a jpeg image on my html page. only it doesn't work. if I switch the file type to png,, it does work. Why doesn't jpeg img work on my cpu. Just so you know the filepath is correct.

Take a look at the file extension for the jpeg image. It could be .jpeg or .jpg. Did the file path you use match the extension exactly? It has to to work. I jnow you said the path was correct, but this is a case where many people think it is correct when it is not, thinking that they can use either extension interchangable. The extension in the path does have to match the extension on the file in order to work.
If that is not the problem, I have no idea why the jpeg image will not work for you.
