image not displayed when executed coldfusion
Hi developers,
I have created one cfm page and where in i am calling an image into a table cell . the image is actually stored in my coldfusion server in a folder called "image".
when I execute the cfm page from localhost:8500/.....cfm, the page is getting loaded perfectly but the image is not displayed but an image icon is displayed with the image name. plz see the attached file.
If I see view source of the page and save the code in a notepad with aaa.html, and saved i in desktop and executed, and now image is displayed. i dont understand why?

Hmmm... the image you uploaded does not look valid. It is not displaying properly even on EE.

Can I ask, why the "B" grade? Did you have further questions?

yeah, I got the page working. but still I did not undertsand, why if I give full path as
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\sit
image is displayed only if i give as
sitename\images\sample.jpg

Ah, okay. Well, if you ever clarification about an expert's response - feel free to ask.

Well, since it is a web application you should not use a physical path ("c:\ColdFusion8\..."). You need to use some kind of url:
http://localhost:8500/somefolder/images/sample.jpg
/somefolder/images/sample.
.../images/sample.jpg
IIRC, physical paths treated as relative to the client machine. Meaning if I went to your website and viewed the page, it would look on _my_ computer for the file path c:\coldFusion8\... and _not_ your CF server. So the page would only ever work on the machine where CF is installed. Also, I believe some browsers disable this for security reasons, anyway. In which case it may not work at all.

thanks agx, for the clarification. I don;t know how to change the grade from b to A.. but if there is a way, I will surely do it. Thanks..
You do not have to change it. I mentioned it because it seemed like part of your question was not answered. So I just wanted to make sure you knew you could always ask for more details if you need them :)
