HTML and the <img> tag

Hey all.

Having trouble with the <img> tag in an HTML statement...

The following works--the image is displayed::
html "<img src='http://runbasic.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/FrogGIF.gif'>"

The following does not work--the image is not displayed:

base$ = ProjectsRoot$ + "\test_project\"
html "<img src='";base$;"FrogGIF.gif'>"

I have copied the frog gif to the test_project directory.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

ProjectsRoot$ is a file system path, the HTML tag needs a web address.
Place the image in the public folder and you can use html "<img src=FrogGIF.gif'>" to display it.

Thanks.

Tried that. Depending on which browser I use (FireFox, Chrome, IE) I either get nothing, or the symbol that pops up when an img can't be found.

Perplexed!

Try this (provided the image is in the public folder):

html "<img src=""/FrogGIF.gif"">"

That did the trick. Thanks Psycho!

I assume from this that I should use double quotes instead of single ticks to surround any file or resource reference?

I've gotten into the habit of using double quotes, but you don't have to for this. The following should work just as well:

html "<img src='/FrogGIF.gif'>"

EDIT: It will also work without the quotes, just like a normal html statement. Stefan's example should have worked but it was missing the first single quote after =

works:

html "<img src=/FrogGIF.gif>"
