Thank you all...
I have created 2 pages and as John Youngman suggested
instead of cfincluding the img.cfm, do a
<cfif fileExists(theFile)>
<img src="...img2.cfm">
</cfif>
I did the same and it works great now. Text gets displayed and the image is
shown below. Thanks John.
Points to clarify.
1. Shawn -- creating virtual directory, thats a wonderful idea. I didnt
think about it. I will ask my netw admin to go this route in future. Thanks.
2.Mark Fennell -- thanks, i did the same thing and it works now.
3.Howard Fore -- Thanks, I realised CFContent was not sufficient. I had to
to something else to make cfcontent work.
About the slashes, how many slashes do I need. I thought its 2 if its server
name and 4 if its appended with file:// i.e.
<img src = "file:\\\\nameofshare\clientname\CF_Chart_Share\testimage.jpg">
Your example had 5 in it.. Err, wrong slashdirection....
file://///servername/nameofshare/clientname/CF_Chart_Share/testimage.jpg
Do I need 5 slashes ?
Thanks for the quick response. I really appreciate everyone's help in this
issue.
Ajas.

No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do.
You can't improve what you don't measure.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents
the wise choice of many alternatives.
