Re: inserting images with Seaside

Thanks for your help. But I'm still confused about the directory tree being used. My files are in this hierarchy:
- MySqueak (dir)
    - Squeak3.8-TJK.image
    - Resources (dir)
        - Cybele-photo01.jpg

What I understand your message to mean is that the documentRoot object contains static files that I can render without additional path information. So an image in Resources should render just by giving its filename. So I tried 
html image: 'Cybele-photo01.jpg' altText: 'Cybele photo'.
This gives
Error: "/seaside/Cybele-photo01.jpg" not found.

Since that didn't render the image, I tried:
html image: 'Resources/Cybele-
photo01.jpg' altText: 'Cybele photo'.
But also gives the not found error.
Error: "/seaside/Resources/Cybele-photo01.jpg" not found.

So at this point I'm stumped. I'm sure it's a trivial config issue. I'll keep working through the tutorial.

Thanks again.

Since you specified the Resources directory as the your file root (in
your server startup code) you don't need it it.  The file name
(Cybele-photo01.jpg) doesn't belong in the alttext part of the tag.
Also, do you have a directory called images.jpg in your Resources
directory?  Here's what I think you want but it depends on what your
directory structure is below Resources:

html image: 'images.jpg/Cybele-photo01.jpg' altText: 'Photo of Cybele'

Hope that helps...
