Hi,

I tried to insert an img file to my cgi script, but I had some problems.  
when i run the tmp.rb file that I create on the server, I can’t see this  
img. when I trying to run the generated html (using this script) on a  
front-page or even on a regular browser I can see that the format that I  
used is ok and I an see the image exactly where I placed it.  
Can you please help me understand what is the problem using the img on  
the server, and how to solve it, its realy importent …

Thanks,  
Asaf

In what directory is your image? And what path do you use for the image  
in your ruby program?

the img is in the directory where tmp.rb is and I use the following code  
:

…  
cgi.img(“border” =\> “0”,“src” =\> “icon.jpg”,“alt” =\> “my icon”, “type”  
=\> “JPEG Image”, “width” =\> “600”, “height” =\> “200”)  
…
