Re: Why image cannot be displayed?

Thanks for you reply. The image eventually can be seen now.

You know how I resolved this?

Web Root: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

FoxWeb Program Root: c:\Program Files\FoxWeb\Programs

Script Location: D:\Test\

I copied the static file myImage.PNG to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\

It still does not show if I use:

although you can see the image in the design page of the MS Frontpage.

I opened the Home Directory page of the Default Web Site Properties in the IIS screen and found the "Read" box was unchecked. I checked it and clicked Apply and Save. It can be shown now, although the Preview page of MS Frontpage could not display the image.

Not sure if the "Read" box is supposed to be checked.

FoxWeb scripts are not usually in a Web-accessible folder, so all static files, such as images, should be placed in a different folder under the Web tree. You should probably be using absolute URLs. For example, let's say that your Web root is c:\inetpub\wwwroot and that you saved your image in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\bd18220_.wmf. In order to reference this image from a FoxWeb script you need to use the following:

Alternatively, you can place images and other static files in a folder that has the same relative path from the web root that your scripts have from the FoxWeb Program Root. Example:

FoxWeb Program Root: c:\Program Files\FoxWeb\Programs

Script Location: c:\Program Files\FoxWeb\Programs\MyApp\MyScript.fwx

Web Root: c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Image Location: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\bd18220_.wmf

In order to call your script you would use:

http://servername/MyApp/MyScript.fwx

Your image tag could be either one of the following:

<img border="0" src="/MyApp/BD18220_.wmf"> (absolute URL)

<img border="0" src="BD18220_.wmf"> (relative URL)

For details on this whole subject please refer to the Locating and Addressing Scripts page in the FoxWeb documentation.

I created a blank page. Copied and pasted a MS clip image to the page. Between the <body> tags are the line.

I saved the file as test.html. It displays perfectly in the IE browser.

But when I saved the page as test.fwx, the image cannot be displayed. Just a little red cross in the top left corner.

Anything I have to do on the FoxWeb side? Thank you in advance.
