Thank you Craig:
I don't need to generate the gif file dynamically, but want to provide a URL to
upload the image. All of this is a new to me so please forgive the simplicity of
the question! I've tried the following without success:
<IMG SRC="http://CS391674-A:8080/public_html/images/mypic.gif">
<IMG SRC="http://CS391674-A:8080/images/mypic.gif">
<IMG SRC="/images/mypic.gif" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=120>
"CS391674-A" is my computer name, and I did put the mypic.gif in the following
directory: c:\JavaWebServer1.1.3\public_html\images
The JWS was done using default installation.
Your feedbacks are always appreciated...
