    Cannot see image

    I am using the following simple cgi script to generate a html page but I cannot see the image. I have a images directory in my cgi-bin folder and a file called arrow.gif but it doesn't show up on the page. Can someone tell me if the cgi looks ok ?


    #!/usr/bin/perl

    print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
    print <<EndHTML
    <html><head><title>Test!</title></head>
    <body>
    <table border=1>
    <tr>
    <td><img src=\"images/arrow.gif\"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    EndHTML

    ><img src=\"images/arrow.gif\">

    Shouldn't that be <img src="/images/arrow.gif">?

    Check the source of the generated HTML page. I'm not sure if you need to escape the quotes in a here document.

    It seems to me that the bold \ should be / instead.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
    print <<EndHTML
    <html><head><title>Test!</title></head>
    <body>
    <table border=1>
    <tr>
    <td><img src=\"images/arrow.gif\"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    EndHTML

    If they should be there at all?

    by the way if i where you i'd keep my images in the html directory!

    If you created the images directory in the html directory eg. html/images/arrow.gif

    you would access it like this /images/arrow.gif

    That was it!

    I had the images in the cgi-bin directory, I didn't realise this wasn't allowed. It all seems to work fine now.

    Many thanks.
