I know there are probably some posts on this but I can't find any at the
moment.

I'm using VS 2005 on XP sp2.

I'm using a master page and I have an image that I need to show but the path
never really works correctly for all pages in the site.

For instance, I have an Image folder with my image in it.
My master page is in the Master folder, my default.aspx page is in the root
of the sit and most of my other pages are in their own folders.
So, when I do this:

<img src=../Images/img.jpg

the image maps correctly for every page that has it's own folder but the
default.aspx for the main site breaks this path. Is there a way to map this
thing correctly?

Thanks

The easiset way is to use an ASP.Net Image Control. Otherwise, you will have
to either use an absolute URL, which may cause problems on your dev server,
or use your own code to get the correct URL for the image.

Thanks Kevin.
I needed the OnClick event which the asp:image control didn't support.
So, I just inserted the following into the HTML


src="<% = Request.ApplicationPath %>/Restofpath/image.gif"

It's not WISIWIG but it does work. Sucks to not be able to use the WISIWIG
but oh well.
 
Hi SAL,

No need to use Request.Application path. There is a special method every
control exposes called ResolveUrl (Image control uses it internally)

<img src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Images/image.gif") >%> />
