    im having a newbe problem... i think!

    i am trying to pull a picture up on a page using its full pathname from the index.html

    code im using:

    <img src="var/www/web4/web/Emailpic.jpg" etc..etc

    when i do this i get the little box with a red cross in it and the picture place holder

    if i use:

    <img src="Emailpic.jpg" etc..etc

    i can see the picture fine.

    can you tell me if full path names are supported or am i just missing something realy simple!

    Kind Regards

    Bill

    Full path names are only needed when the image resides in a place other than the page it displays on.

    Example: The image is in a directory called "images". The full path name would then be
    img src=<"http://www.sitename.tld/images/imagename.jpg">.

    You should never use the server path names in HTTP pages.

    Thanks for that, works fine now. Sometimes the simple stuff can really trip us up!
