is this syntax peculiar to v8? or peculiar to Linux? it bears zero resemblance to the way we reference images in windows in v7.

oh, yeah, Prarie got it. missing " after gif.

Almost... but not yet... The images come up as "unfound images", the framed red X...
One of the computes: 
COMPUTE IMG6/A200 = '<img src="IBFS:/WFC/Repository/webfocusdevelopement/image_check.gif">';

The WF8 syntax, IBFS:/xxx/is used to find stuff in WF8
WF7: -INCLUDE THISFEX
WF8: -INCLUDE IBFS:/WFC/Repository/webdevel/Doug/BaseFolder.thisfex.fex
Capitalization counts in Linux...
IBFS: Information Builders File System...
WFC: WebFOCUS Content (folder)...

Hi Doug,

Are you getting enough coffee? Wink

David, as usual, is right on the money and if you right click and choose properties on one of the broken images, you will see that the Protocol of IBFS: etc. is unknown.

Instead of IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/APPPATH/webdevel/image_x.gif you could use /approot/webdevel/image_x.gif

This is in a fex which I am running from within Dev Studio 8.

I'm not surprised! That is tagging that you would use in the Forum!! You need more coffee Doug Smiler

Try 
COMPUTE IMG1/A200 = '<img src="/webdevel/image_check.jpg" />';
COMPUTE IMG2/A200 = '<img src="/APPPATH/webdevel/image_check.jpg" />';

Hmm, should have mentioned that I'm on a single tier and running directly from App Studio. Not tried it from a portal etc.

I can only suggest that you right click on the "broken image" and select properties to see what URL has been derived.

Doug,

Get rid of the "ibfs:/EDA/EDASERVE/" prefix of your img src attribute. IBFS: is not a valid protocol for a web address - it only has meaning within WebFOCUS.

Type the following into the browser address (replacing the server etc. as necessary) and see if you get an image.

http[s]://[yourserver][: port]/APPPATH/webdevel/image_check.gif

Bottom line, if your browser cannot resolve the url that you are placing into your img tag then you are not going to see an image!

Just copy your images to the app folder and refer /approot/foldername/imagename in your code.

That should work.

Trying Tony's suggestion...

Reference WFDevConsultant:

Done that, NG:
COMPUTE IMG4/A200 = '<img src="IBFS:/WEB/webdevel/image_check.gif">';

It needs to be /approot/webdeve1/image_check.jpg.

This is what we do

EXIMG/A250='Excel';

Try this if you want to keep your images in the Repository

COMPUTE pict/A200V = '<img src="/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&|BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/webfocusdevelopement&|BIP_item=/image_check.jpg" >';


In general

 src="/ibi_apps/views.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/[Foldername]&BIP_item=[imagename.jpg]"


You can also use subfolders

Been using it since 8.0.01 - tested with 8.1.04 too.

One thing to note however, if you try to do this InfoAssist it will show you the HTML code rather than the image.
This is because InfoAssist decides to add ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON to all procedures which disables HTML code in your report. Currently this can't be turned off at the user lever.

Instead to resolve this issue you have two options:

1) Manually edit the code (right click and choose Edit With... Text Editor) and change change the line

ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON

to read

ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE OFF

2) Turn off HTML Encode for all reports

As administrator, click on "Administration" then "Administration Console". then in the new window Expand "Utilities" and Click "InfoAssist Properties"
Down near the bottom of the "Tool Options" section uncheck "Encode HTML" and click the "Save" button.

Note: If you don't choose the 2nd option then everytime you edit a report in IA it will default back to ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON

Hope this helps

The final Solution: 
SET PAGE = NOPAGE
SET BASEURL=http://this.that.net
APP PATH IBISAMP
TABLE FILE CAR 
BY COUNTRY AS '' SUM DEALER_COST AS '' 
COMPUTE Mark/A54=IF RETAIL_COST GE 8000
                 THEN '<img src="/approot/webfocusdevelopement/ng.gif"></img>'
                 ELSE '<img src="/approot/webfocusdevelopement/ok.gif"></img>'; AS ''
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
GRID=OFF, BORDER=LIGHT, FONT=ARIAL, SIZE=10, COLOR=NAVY,$
ENDSTYLE
END

would have worked if I used the web apps folder name.

The 8080, which showed up in the properties of the broken link, got in the way.

"webdevel" is the name of the app folder and "webfocusdevelopement" is the name of the web applications folder. It's all in the name, and it's working like I thought it should.

So, thank you Tony and thanks to all the others...
