Image won't display
I made a test webpage based widget that is just an image. The image doesn't display, just the alt text, and border. Strangely it did show up for a very short time last night, and I can point the widget to other and similar pages where images work just fine.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?It could be that you're using a relative URL instead of an absolute URL to reference your image. Relative URLs are relative to its place in your filesystem (e.g. /images/photo.jpg) where as an absolute URL points directly to your image from the root of your site (e.g. http://www.mygreatsite.com/images/pho...). Try using an absolute URL to see if that helps.

Inappropriate?I have the same problem and I'm using an absolute url. -
Inappropriate?I tried some things that may shed a little light :
..Uploaded the page I'm trying to make my widget from to dot mac server and it works fine (normally I use dreamhost )
..tried pointing the widget at just the image's url back at dreamhost( ...site.com/widgetpage/files/image.jpg that's as absolute as I know how to get) it still didn't display, just the alt text like ususal
tried it through an intermediary iframe page (convoluted, I know, but it had worked at first) and got 503 service unavailable
other pages on my site that Had worked then started missing all images or giving 503's
makes me suspect dreamhost.
Anyway, now that I see that and how it works I'm real pleased. It would be nice to verify if there's something squirrelly between d'host and w'box or if its just particular to me.
I’m feeling better

Inappropriate?very interesting... my images is hosted at dreamhost.
it would be great if we could upload images to widgetbox. -
Inappropriate?I believe this has to do with something Dreamhost. It could have something to do with how they set up your .htaccess files by default. I would suggest asking Dreamhost about this and if they have a solution for this.

Inappropriate?Oh! I used a relative link for some of the images, and thought i was loosing my mind. Make sure all links are absolute, check!
I’m happy
