texture problem

what is needed to draw a textured rectangle on the screen in 2d-mode? im doing the following: -i have loaded a texture, i assume this works -glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); -glColor(1,1,1); -glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, id); -rendering: glBegin(GL_QUADS); or glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); glTexCoord2f(u,v); glVertex2f(x,y); ... glEnd(); i have read the red book and this should be ok i think... but i just get a white rectangle on the screen, no texture at all! it looks as if i didnt bind the texture! i took the texture-loading code from a sample and it works. are there any commands missing? thanks for any help cody
