Hi Rob, Sorry, I thought you were trying to grab the image file with the <@INCLUDE> Metatag. Using <@INCLUDE> for text / HTML headers, footers and/or re-usable chunks of code is a recommended practice.
It's been awhile since I used the t4cgi.exe but it's starting to come back to me now. If your URL includes the CGI path, then your browser is looking for the image in directories that don't actually exist ( http://localhost/cgi-bin/t4cgi.exe/image.gif ). So in your image tag, try something like: <IMG SRC="/image.gif"> or <IMG SRC="../image.gif"> or <IMG SRC="../../image.gif"> To force your browser to look in the parent or root directory of your site. On a side note, it is also recommended for security reasons, to either map your TAF extension to the t4cgi.exe file or use the Apache plug-in module to avoid having the CGI path in your URL. For example, if you have a TAF file located at http://localhost/cgi-bin/t4cgi.exe/login.taf Then I could just type http://localhost/login.taf and potentially force your TAF file to be downloaded to my workstation, unparsed by R:Tango - then I could see your raw code and any available security information. Once your TAF files are mapped or you setup the plug-in, then your URLs will be nice and clean and shorter like this http://localhost/login.taf with each one properly parsed. Then you don't have to include the <@CGI> Metatag with your links and such. Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with configuring Apache - I use IIS - but you could try running your installer again and choosing the plug-in option for Apache to automatically do the configuration for you. Do this before upgrading Apache because I seam to recall the (Tango) installer didn't like playing with newer versions of Apache higher than 1.3.9 Hope this helps. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2002 7:15 AM Subject: Re: R:Tango (using t4cgi.exe) > Thanks for the info Scott. > > > Yes, my image file is located in the same directory as the .TAF file. > > With regards to the <@INCLUDE> tag, this was the recommended way in the > documentation to display a standard re-occurring header/footer that would > appear on numerous pages to give your web-site some consistency. > > The graphic is actually referenced within a simple .html file with the > <IMG SRC=""> line, and is called from within a .TAF file with <@INCLUDE> > > I have made an observation, the "header.html" displays correctly when referenced > in the browser, however, when the following URL is used, the graphic disappears. > > http://localhost/cgi-bin/t4cgi.exe/login.taf > > I have to assume the t4cgi.exe file is somehow preventing the graphic from being > displayed.
