Images not appearing in SSI - 4/23/2007 0:29:09   

Since EW does not have the include page bot I have gone to server side includes.

Well... I have an include page that is the left menu. When I render just the menu in the browser the images and text appear. But, when I render the home page that has the SSI embedded, the text appears but the images just show the dreaded RED X.

Any ideas what could be keeping this from showing the image?

Oh, and if I just insert the image directly into the body of the home page it appears fine.

Your link to the image is probably wrong. Do you have something we can look at?

Adding to the above - if you have folders on your site, you can consider using virtual includes
/images/imagename.gif
This will push the path back to the root and then over to the images folder

But, once the menu is included in the home page the images do not appear.

Sorry, no preview since on a local dev box.

If the images are in the include not the main page then you need to make sure the path to the images, from the include is correct. Try using the method Corey gave above.

If the path is correct then I suspect your problem is that you're running it from your desktop and your include (Server Side) needs the server to display it.

OK.. problem solved but weird solution.

The include page is a page in a sub folder of the root.

In the include page I have the basic relative path to the images and they show fine, but do not show in the home page in the root.

What I had to do to get the images to appear in the home page was change the path in the include as if it were the home page.

So, now the images do show in the home page but not in the include.

Hmmm? maybe I should just place the include in the root so that all the pages and images are one big happy family.

Virtual includes should read:
<!--#include virtual="/directory/xyzfile.extension" -->
