[SOLVED] Passing image source variable from fex to html

Is there any way to place a variable into the image source of the html page? I'm using !IBI.AMP.name; to pass other variables from my fex to the html page/composer. I found in the text where the source is specified: src="app/item1.jpg" All I want to do is send a different item name ( IE item2, item3, item4). I can manually type this and it works perfectly, but I'm just not coming up with the proper syntax for composer to understand. Help please :-)

Ha,Ha!! I knew it had to be simple. I just didn't realize it case case sensitive.

COMPUTE TEST/A30='app'||LOCASE(20,fieldname,'A20');

src="!IBI.AMP.TEST;"

Good to close.

Since you been able to pass variables to your composer page try creating a new parameter and passing that. Once that works, change the src to that parameter.

I spoke to soon :-( It's not working now. Probably due to a cache issue.

Fernando,
So is the syntax just src=field ? Without the double quotes? Thanks!

Ok. I figured it out. My solution did work. When I re-opened html composer, it broke it but putting extra code. I corrected this. Just don't re-open composer after entering the variable via text.
