Hello,

I have an (in my opinion) awkward problem with Javascript. I include a file from a different site (actually it's a banner). The include banner contains images, and since they need to be displayed on a different domain I put the full path to the images in my Javascript. It looks like this:

.....
document.write ('<TD><A HREF=&quot;javascript:popitup();&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>');
....

I include the file on the remote site like this:

<BODY>
...
<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot; src=&quot;...
</BODY>

The banner shows up correctly, but for some reason the &quot;<img src&quot; from the included file has been converted to a relative one, like this:
document.write ('<TD><A HREF=&quot;javascript:popitup();&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot;/salesportal/pix/stem.gif&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>');

Which means it will look for the images on the site where the banner is included instead of the place where the banneris hosted. So no images show up.

Does somebody have a clue, because I am no Javascript hereo and I really don't know what the **** is going on here.

Greetz,
Gert

I tested this and I can't replicate the problem. I hope you find someone else who can help you out. :)

hi there

I have looked at your code and maybee you might want to consider making the following changes from your code:

document.write ('<TD><A HREF=&quot;javascript:popitup();&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>');

here is what i would suggest why not just stick the &quot;popitup()&quot; launch command as a onlick comand and the get rid of the <a href> tags altogether like so adding the style option so that you get the hand as this is why you went for the <a href > tags i presume:

document.write ('<TD><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot; onclick=&quot;popitup()&quot; Style=&quot;cursor: hand&quot;></TD>');

I hope this helps you out.

cheers

document.write ('<TD><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot; onclick=&quot;popitup()&quot; Style=&quot;cursor: hand&quot;></TD>');

simply copy and past this into yur page and past the correct url for the img src and this code should do the rest aslong as your java is in place.

I hope this helps you out.

Well I tried it, but it didn't work. The header is still chopped off.

Any other suggestions??

o.k, before u do a document.write try giving an alert. it might be that HTML might be parsing the path. does the path in the alert also reflect this error?
alert('<TD><A HREF=&quot;javascript:popitup();&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>');


Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Ok, now it's not chopped off. So it seems that HTML is parsing the path, like you said. What's next?

Already thanks for your help by the way!

alert('SRC=&quot;
is displayed alright

alert('<IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>');

is displayed as:
<IMG SRC=&quot;/normenenwaarden/pix/stem.gif; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot;></A></TD>

This is where it's all about:
document.write ('<TD><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot; onclick=&quot;popitup()&quot; Style=&quot;cursor: hand&quot;></TD>');

i tried the document.write and i found that u havent closed the &quot; after pix/..., please check that out too...

I corrected the missing &quot;, thanks.

alert('<TD><IMG SRC=&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot; onclick=&quot;popitup()&quot; Style=&quot;cursor: hand&quot;></TD>');

Still returns:
<TD><IMG SRC=&quot;/normenenwaarden/pix/stem.gif&quot; WIDTH=79 HEIGHT=60 ALT=&quot;Stembutton&quot; onclick=&quot;popitup()&quot; Style=&quot;cursor: hand&quot;></TD>

Could it be a browserproblem. I have IE5.5
Checked it on Netscape 4.3, but the problem is the same overthere.

Hi VBKris and others,

I think I found the problem.
Due to the fact that I'm working at home with a remote connection with Putty and a tunnel, IE sees as my localhost or as my local drive when I'm starting the .html file up from my desktop.

I tried it out with a real remote site and guess what: I got a complete URL.

Thank you VBKris for your help. Without your help I guess I would have given up.
