<img> tag not working!?

[flipjargendy]

I had an idea of what might cause this last night. Tell me if I'm wrong... I'm just guessing.

define_main_page.php is located in /includes/language/english/html_includes/ so to make an image show up on a page located there I would type

<img src="../../../templates/customTemplate/images/image.gif>

Because a PHP module (or whatever) calls the defines page would the defines page actually be considered in the directory of the PHP file that calls it?

I am not sure which is which, but IE or FF does not show broken images, just the alt text (and if the alt text is missing it will show nothing).

(And the file that is called by the browser is the "base file", not the included or required files by the script.)

So technically the img tag should be working correctly if I type it in (like I did above) on the define page?

I am becoming slow

I decided to just use:
~/public_html/zenCartincludes/templates/customTemplate/images/image.gif

If that works it indicates that it was just your path that was wrong. The above path is hardcoded and absolute. You really should try to avoid that, and use relative and defined paths (definded by the Zen Cart script).

Woah, i thought i tried that (several times) to be sure it didn't work.... it works!! Man i'm getting burned out with this client.
