Dynamic Images From a Database

[kjellanderton]

I have a database of products. The database consits of price, description and a photograph of the product. When dreamweaver extracts the information from MS Access it has no problem with the text information, but the images of the products which I have linked to the database appear in dreamweaver as either a brocken image or dreamweaver simply wont make the recordset on the basis that it has a syntax error. I don't want to simply put the images staight into dreamweaver because the pages will be static and not ASP. Please Help.

Are you pulling the URLs from the DB or BLOBs.

Just really read your post, Important point, your visitors won't be using dreamweaver to view your site, what does it look like in the browser when it runs on the server.

by the same token DW doesn't handle external CSS for positioning very well, ok it looks a jumbled mess, but the browsers handle it perfectly.
Answer; don't use the WYSIWYG design view to see the result of ASP code use your browser!
