ASP to display image rather than text path ??

D

david

Hi,

I have asp pages running from a MySQL database.
I have placed a path in the required field (although not quite sure on
the correct format).

My asp page is just displaying the text path instead of the image.
I'm using response.write.

The Folder is called : images
This folder is within : wwwroot\works\images\image1.jpg

How should I display this in the MySQL field ?
I have the field as type: VarChar

How do I display image1.jpg on my asp page ?

Appreciate your help

Thanks

Well, the image path *on the web* is probably /works/images/image1.jpg, so
that is what you should enter.

Now, I don't know exactly how you're retrieving this value from MySQL into
your ASP page, but once you have the value, you just say:

<img src="<%=imgPath%>">

Hopefully you see why this will not work if the imgPath =
wwwroot\works\images\image1.jpg
