Hi all

I want to give a path for a picture using it as background in a table.

It looks like I can't use src="..." and got to use the "file:/// etc.

The Front Page Express sets the HTML code using my PC's path like:

------------------

<table border="0" width="573" height="7"

background="file:///C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyPage/Pictures/back.gif"

cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

------------------

Any suggestions on how can I use the Server.Mappath method with this one?

or should I use something else?



Thank you for your time and the help you provide



Best Regards

Nikos Pappas

Try using another editor... Frontpage is not the right tool for developing

webpages...

why not use a local path such as 



<table background="..\graphics\backgrounds\back.gif">



assuming that all your backgrounds are in the same place, you can 

replicate this, just substitute the filename each time.

Hi there

I don't know why it didn't work in the first place but it's ok

simple as that

background="backgrounds\back.gif"

Thanks for the help anyway

What is important is that people here really care about people they don't 

really now.

Thanks again

Cheers

Nikos

I would recommend first trying to just display the graphic on the page as an

image, such as <img src="...">.  Then if that works, just copy the exact

path to your table tag: <table background="...">
