Probably all the same problem of not having them pre-registered. Please could you try using the version in svn (WICKET_1_2 branch), or download the intermediate version at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=119783&package_id=173489&release_id=428730 ? There are many components, like the Tree, DatePicker, YUI Slider and Calendar etc that work with relative images like that. So far - besides that pre-registering - that didn't give any problems. > BTW, I have struggled with another problem about loading images dynamically > at run time while having to pass not only the file name but the width, > height and alt attributes.

Well, first off, programming will always take a few lines here and there. The whole trick with Wicket and it's philosophy of reusable components is that you hide the ugly parts in components and expose a nice API on them. Instead of those static models (new Model("value")), use dynamic models that e.g. work on properties of your component (new PropertyModel(this, "alt")). Furthermore, instead of using attribute modifiers, you could e.g. override onComponentTag body, and do your attribute modification there like: openTag.getAttributes().put(key, value) or in 2.0 (alpha currently) you can even do it int the constructor: getMarkupAttributes().put(key, value); Eelco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
