No, mappings in CF have nothing to do with the web path to the images directory.The mappings in CFAdmin only have to do with cfinclude, cfmodule, CFCs and CF related actions.img src.. is an HTTP thing and all of that is managed by your web server.You just have to remember that as far as the

The basic answer is: If you're talking about how to get the right path to use cfinclude... then you may need to set up a CF mapping. If you're talking about how to get an img src... to point to a certain location, then you need to base the location of the src="" on the location of the main file
