ASP.NET images showing on IE but not firefox

Hey all
I am getting a really weird error,i am trying to show a logo on my web application and for some reason the logo is shown on IE but not forefox or chrome

whats weird is that if i click on open new window on chrome it shows it

after research people suggested i should use forward slashes instead of back slashes but that hasnt worked

i should say that i am using responce.write to create the image

Response.Write("<img src=\\\\ATL-WINDOWS1\\c$\\logo\\logo.jpg alt=Altman Technologies Logo border=0 class=logo> <br>");

try

Response.Write("<img src=\\ATL-WINDOWS1\\c$\\logo\\logo.jpg alt=Altman Technologies Logo border=0 class=logo> <br>");

Open in new window

You are referencing an image on a Windows Network (\\server\dir\dir...), this works in IE but not in Firefox.

I suggest you include the image in a sub-directory on the site. I would recommend you add an "~/img" directory, then add the logo inside that directory.

You can then reference it like this:

Response.Write("<img src=/img/logo.jpg alt=Altman Technologies Logo border=0 class=logo> <br>");

what exactly do you mean robasta
so create a directory in my main webapplication and insert a logo in it

what i did it is i created a logo directory and inserted a logo in it
heres the call
Response.Write("<img src=~/logo/logo.jpg alt=Altman Technologies Logo border=0 class=logo> <br>");
but its still no working

remove the tilde (~)

ASKER

i did that as well
nothing yet mate

ASKER

whats really strange is that if i reference it on the windows network it wont appear on google chrome

but when i open it on a new tab the image is shown

yes thats the file structure
yes i do it works on visual studio when i run it on google

and yes i do have a doctype decleration

try this one:

Response.Write("<img src='/img/img2/logo.jpg' alt='Rob Technologies Logo' border='0' class='logo'> <br>");

ASKER

nope that doesnt work either
it doesnt even work on IE

ASKER

i should say that i created the img and img2 directory

Open in new window

<asp:Image ID="Logo"
runat="server"
AlternateText="Logo"
ImageUrl="\\ATL-WINDOWS1\c$\logo\logo.jpg"/>

should be:

<asp:Image ID="Logo"
runat="server"
AlternateText="Logo"
ImageUrl="~/logo/logo.jpg"/>

ASKER

it still isnt showing
when i open it in a new tab
http://172.21.2.5:82/logo/logo.jpg

this is the address that is produced

Is your page on this location :

http://172.21.2.5:82/GenericErrorPage.aspx

ASKER

yup thats right

Can you view the image in the Designer?
--from the <asp:Image...> control

ASKER

yes i can

That means you should be able to view the image in IE. Which browsers are not showing the images now?

Run the page and show the markup that is generated.

ASKER

it runs in IE but not Google Chrome and firefox

In Firefox/Chrome, Run the page, press CNTRL+U, then post the code here

ASKER

Open in new window

This code runs as expected in my Firefrox and Chrome.

Then, it should be that your browsers are not displaying images (check your settings or try a site with images in FF/Chrome)

ASKER

but they are showing images everywhere
this is very strange
ok thanks for your help anyways

Is this page on the net by any chance?

ASKER

no i am hosting it on my DCs IIS

What is the image src value on the rendered page where the image is not shown

ASKER

I have solved it by creating the image on the applications folder

thank u all for your help
