Hi,

I am having a heck of a time trying to get an image to be displayed on a webpage using ASP and VBScript. I am trying to match images numbered in a folder with data from an Access DB that have the same numbering system. I am adding three zeros at the beginning of the number to match what is in the images folder.

Has anyone done this or can help. Below is just part of the code.

Response.Write ("<TABLE ALIGN=LEFT BORDER=""5"" CELLPADDING=""0"" CELLSPACING=""0"" TABLE WIDTH=""100%"" HEIGHT=""2"" BORDERCOLORLIGHT=""#DDDDDD"" BORDERCOLORDARK=""#DDDDDD"" FRAME=""BORDER"" HSPACE=""0"" VSPACE=""0"" BGCOLOR=""#GGGGGG"">")

Do While not rsGetRecords.EOF

        Response.Write ("<tR>")

            Response.Write ("<tD BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF ALIGN=""LEFT"">")
        Response.Write ("<img src="images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg">")
            Response.Write ("</tD>")
            Response.Write ("</tR>")
Loop

And what exactly is the problem? Does the code not compile, or do the images not show up? Can you elaborate?

It is not compiling. I just get the default IE error: HTTP 500 Internal Error.
I should have mentioned that I am only using notepad to code this.

Does the page seem really slow? You forgot a MoveNext:

Do While not rsGetRecords.EOF
  ...
  Response.Write ("</tR>")
  rsGetRecords.MoveNext()
Loop

Oh, I forgot to include the movenext in the post, but it is in the original code.

The page immeditaly goes to the error.
I was getting a syntax error and it was point to my img src line. I think this is the issue.
Response.Write ("<img src="images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg">")

Can we not add pieces with the & " " & ? I was certain this is how it can be done.

In that case, it would help if you posted the actual error message. Look at this:

Response.Write ("<img src="images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg">")

You try to output a quote for the src attribute. However, you are already inside a string so you need escape it by doubling the quote:

Response.Write ("<img src=""images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg"">")


Cheers,

This: Response.Write ("<img src="images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg">")

Should be
Response.Write("<img src="images\Logos\thumbnails\logo_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("LogoNumber") & ".jpg"">")

Try that.

Ahh Imar beat me to it.

How about this modification to the above.

This time I am trying to get the description of the image to display then when you hover/mouse over the image will display.

Logically, I would think below would have worked, but it isn't.

Response.Write ("<a href=""#""> & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription") & <img src=""Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & "000" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview""/></a>")

It works if done like this, but I need to dynamically get the image name:

Response.Write ("<a href=""#""> Image Preview <img src=""Static_Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & "0" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview"" /></a>")
