I am trying to display an image that resides in a folder that is not subordinant to my www folder. It is in a file that is even in location in the wwwroot with the www. I am able to upload the files to the folder but when I try to display them with a record set they dont show up. The response by the ISP is as follows.

Hi

The image tag in html will not accept a physical path as the source. It will only accept a relative or absolute url of your website.

so how can I make it relative or can I

Do you mean that the image in question is located in a different domain from your site? If so, you need to specify the image in absolute url (URL address of the image that begins with "").

If you want to use a relative path, you need to move the image to a directory that belongs to your wwwroot.

Ok but now I have one more question. My ftp or webservice references this as D://inetpub/company.com/wwwroot/images for the image locaton and
D://inetpub/company.com/wwwroot/www for the website if this is so do I use
www.company.com/wwwroot/image/name.jpg?

Oh Isee. Interesting directory structure...

Anyway, in this case, it seems like you can actually use a relative path. The following path is relative to your file in www directory:

../images/<i>name.jpg</i>
