image doesn't display in netscape 1

[smsinger3]

Hello All,

For some reason, the image below does not display in Netscape 6.2, but it does display in IE. Does anyone know why? You're help is certainly sppreciated!!!!!

<img src='\\servername\Image_CDs\20000108_t.JPG' WIDTH=&quot;64&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;75&quot;>

Could it be some sort of permissioning problem?

Thank you in advance,

I'd take a guess that using \ instead of / could be your problem. You should probably also have a http: at the front of the url. Tracy Dryden

I don't think that's the problem, I also tried

<img src=&quot;file://svrname/Image_CDs/20000016.jpg&quot;>

But that didn't work. I since rewrote it to

<img src=file://\\svrname\Image_CDs\20000016.jpg border=0>

But that didn't work either. If I don't use the UNC name and only use the mapped drive (&quot;r:\&quot, then it works great in Netscape.

Is there some kind of problem with Netscape using the UNC name of an image?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help, in advance!

Try opening the image from netscape, then copy the URL netscape shows for the image after it opens... that should do it (that will tell you exactly how netscape see's the file location). -gerrygerry

Thanks gerrygerry for that idea. After I opened the image in the browser, here's what it looked like:

<img src=&quot;file://///svrname/Image_CDs/20000014.jpg&quot;

(Yes, there are 5 forward slashes in a row!) I have no explanation why this would even work! If anyone knows why this works, then please share it! X-)

 

[gerrygerry]

No idea why i would do that.

But it worked, right? -gerrygerry

Hey, I was partially right. Who would have thought of 5 forward slashes?! I gave gerrygerry a star for his idea on how to figure it out! Tracy Dryden

I admire someone who can come up with a simple and direct way to solve a problem. Your solution met both of those criteria perfectly.

Don't worry about the rankings. They're great for the ego, but don't mean as much as a good thank you does. Tracy Dryden
