Question

IMG SRC not finding file from CFM

Hi, I'm using ColdFusion9 with the 9.01 update and ColdFusion Builder 2 on port 80 on IIS 7.5.7600.16385.  When I run the following line in logo.html the gif is properly displayed:

<img src="../images/logo_c.gif" alt="Orange Whip Studios"/>

When I run the line in logotest.cfm the alt text is displayed, even though FileExists finds the gif at that path.  Any idea why?  Thanks.

    Are logo.html and logotest.cfm in the same directory?

    Yes.  Same directory.

    The URL in an IMG tag is not relative to the file the tag is in, it's relative to the path in the URL of the mian request (ie: in the address bar of the browser).  I suspect "../images/logo_c.gif" is not valid, relative to the address in the address bar..?
