Getting Images to Display

[4ibiz]

Newbie question.
I am trying to get some header images displayed but for some reason they will not come up.
I have tried various paths in the .pl file that is responsible for displaying the header across the other cgi files but none seem to work eg. <IMG SRC=http://www.mydomain.com/images/picture.gif
All I get is the text that I put in the "ALT" tag but no image.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Terry

What is the exact code that you use?

My feeling is that it's because of the quotes. Try escaping them link this: \" <- put a slash in front of it.

This is one example that I have tried but nothing seems to work

<td width="172"><IMG SRC=http://www.start-page-traffic.com/start-page-exchange.gif WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=107 ALT="Start Page Traffic Exchange"></td>

Do not post real page URLs. It's against the forum TOS.

Give me the whole code. How do you output it? print function? or somehow else?

If you want to use print, try this:

print qq(<td width="172"><IMG SRC=http://www.widgets.com/start-page-exchange.gif WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=107 ALT="Start Page Traffic Exchange"></td>);

Hi 4ibiz

Moltar means 2 things:

1. Don't reveal your real URL in your posts. Substitute it with a generic name. e.g. [my_domain.com...]
   
2. We need to figure out if the problem is related to perl and how you have coded your print statement, vs the path of the image being correct relative. If it is related to your perl coding, one possible problem is how you are quoting, so Moltar is suggesting using the qq(my string) format instead of the "my string" format. But really, to be sure you should post the perl code snippet you are using to print the image tag.
