How to display image that has UNC path?

Hi, I am trying to display image where its src parameter is UNC path like the following:
<img id="imgViewer" src="\\user-89dc945c9a\3\Download.gif" border="0" alt="Download.gif" >

But the image does not appear.

if src parameter does not accept UNC paths is there a script that allow me to display this image?
Please help

Zvonko , Do you mean: "file:\\\\user-89dc945c9a\3\Download.gif" and not "file:////user-89dc945c9a/3/Download.gif"

however both case does not work.

Yes.

I think the best way is to copy files programatecally to the web page and delete them after finish.
