Aggravating Noob Question - Images won't display

[Arch Stanton]

I'm an absolute newbie trying to teach myself asp.net from a dummies
book and the web. Sorry in advance.

I'm just trying to display images on my .aspx page. I've tried both of
these approaches:

<img src="CTLogo.gif" />


<asp:image runat="server"
id="CTLogo"
imageurl="CTLogo.gif"
alternatetext="No Image" />

Both of these are in the body of my page (between the BODY tags>, and
the image CTLogo.gif is in the same directory as the .aspx files. But I
keep getting the 'broken image' icon or the alternate test. The dummies
book and every web page I've tried say this should work. If I paste the
first one into a file with a .html format, it works fine.

Can anybody give me pointers on what to try?

Is your aspx page is defining a <base href="..." />? If so, the image
will try to be retrieved from that base location.

If not, then the image should be ok if it does actually exist in the
same directory and your name is correct.
