Hello,
this is (one of ) the html code for the image(s)
<asp:imagebutto n id="ImageButton 9" style="Z-INDEX: 113; LEFT: 376px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 144px" runat="server" ImageUrl="file:///F:\My project\ICONS\m ascot background2.jpg " Width="868px" Height="136px">

it was working fine but the images are not appearing on the executed screen after upgrading my browser to IE-7.

Are you using IIS? This file location business is the problem.

Kenobewan's right.
Your ImageUrl should be point to a location on your IIS server, not directly accessing the file.

It should be something like:

<asp:imagebutto n id="ImageButton 9" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/mascot background2.jpg " Width="868px" Height="136px">

Where ~/Images/ is a folder located within the root directory of your asp application.

Hi Frinny,
im in problem again, it is stil not working im actually surprised.
i gave the image url (path) as ImageUrl="file:///C:\images\masco t.jpg it din work these are the other options i tried
ImageUrl="file:///C:\Inetpub\imag es\mascot.jpg">
ImageUrl="file:///C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\images\masc ot.jpg">
i also removed the older image ctrl button and replaced it with a new one .....
but stil no change. :-(
i tried it with a new webapplication taking an image ctrl and its working fine but i donno wts the problem here.
.jpg, .gif, these are the formats which i have used. those were my project images, now im worried how will i show it to my project manager. I wonder if the problem is with the file format........

the image url path of the other image which is working fine is
ImageUrl="file:///C:\Documents and Settings\Adela\ My Documents\face the naighbour.bmp
if i use any one of the above paths it isn't working

You are still not properly assigning the ImageURL.

"file:///C:\Inetpub\imag es\mascot.jpg" is not a valid URL.

"www.mysite/images/mascot.jpg" is a valid URL.

Right now you are trying to access the picture from the C:\ directory but the IIS doesn't work like that. The IIS is set up to work with virtual directories in order to serve web pages and images to your web browser. Therefore you have to provide a valid URL to the ImageUrl property not a path to the file on the computer.

You don't even need to include www.mysite in the url, you can reference it by using relative paths. So if you have a folder named "images" in the root of your web site directory, the URL for the picture would be:

"~/images/mascot.jpg"

This is a valid URL that the IIS (web server) can use to locate the picture so that the web browser can load it.

Does this make sense?
