epub Error while parsing file: value of attribute "src" is invalid; must be a URI

Bowcat · 10-08-2019, 04:53 AM

Hi, I'm new to all this and received an error on my epub check. I wonder if there are any wizards out there who know how to sort this. Grateful for any guidance. Thank you.

You have an image in your epub that doesn't have a valid address for the source document. You can not point to an image on a webpage or your computer, it must be in your epub.

A valid location should look something like:

<div><img alt="" src="../Images/MyPic.jpg" /></div>

... where MyPic.jpg is located in your "OEBPS/Images" folder of the ePub. If the image is located somewhere else in your ePub, then give it that path.
