EDGE. Url of images.
In IE11, I can get the URL of an image on a page
by clicking on it and then going to it's properties and then selecting the image's URL, which when pasted on to a fresh page gives the image only. Why cannot this be done with edge, or is there a work-around? |

But things can be complicated. For instance, some pages now will use a dummy for the IMG SRC, which is supposed to be the image URL. Then they use script to load the image. So if you don't enable script you don't see the image. Which raises the question of whether Peter is trying to get the exact same image in each browser. Given that he asks frivolous questions on nearly a daily basis, I don't know why you bother. |

"Copy Link" and "Open in new window" are not there when the HTML image is not also a URL link. When I visit an online newspaper, the HTML images are also URL links to the corresponding newspaper article (or for ads, to the advertised product). "Copy Link" copies the URL link to the newspaper article (or advertised product), not the URL of the image. And "Open in new window" opens the URL link / newspaper article (or advertised product) in a new window, not the image in a new window. -- Kind regards Ralph |

Thanks, in IE11 I could get the URL of just the image and send this off to a recipient without the bother of Tinypic and similar programs. This was less trouble, and faster. |

Why cannot this be done with edge, Ask Microsoft. This is a user-to-user newsgroup, not a hotline to the people at Microsoft who made this decision. or is there a work-around? Use Firefox, or Chrome, or one of the browsers built on either Firefox or Chrome open source. Both Firefox and Chrome have what you want. Edge is Microsoft's attempt to catch up with Chrome. But they haven't yet. * Firefox: (right click on image) Copy Image Location * Chrome: (right click on image) Copy Image Address |
