fmi/xsl/ does not exist per se on the hard drive. It is a virtual folder that is mapped by your web publishing engine to the xslt-template-files folder where you store your xslt files.

Concerning placing images (see your other thread ), when you had set up your web server (probably with IIS), you had probably to specify a root folder for your static web files. There you can place the static html and image files (jpg, gif etc.), say in a subfolder images and reference them with <image src="images/something.gif" ...

Unfortunately, I don't know IIS, but you should read in the IIS documentation where the folders for your web site are stored.

Thanks for your help!

With IIS, a have a have a root folder (wwwroot) but if a create a folder "images" and I put my file( logo.jpg) here, and if I put this code on my xsl page (<img src='images/logo.jpg'/>) I can't see my picture on the web page...

I can't know what I can should doing...

On your MAC, where you should put your images file ?

And what your type on your .xsl page Ex: <img src='images/logo.jpg'/>

[Martin Brändle]

Take the absolute path: <img src="/images/logo.jpg"/>

Or take the relative path with respect to fmi/xsl/... : <img src="../../images/logo.jpg"/>

And don't write apostrophes, write double quotes.

On the Mac, it is still not clear where you should put your images!

Ok. On Mac OS X Server, you have a Server Admin Tool with which you can set up Apache and define several (virtual) websites.

When you define a website with this tool, you have to specify a folder that can be anywhere on your system. This folder or a subfolder of it, e.g. called images, is the place where you have to place your static images. Within web language, this is the "root" folder. All paths must be either absolute to this folder <img src="/images/logo.jpg"/> or relative <img src="images/logo.jpg"> or relative to another folder, e.g. fmi/xsl/ (which is itself virtual, see above).

On Mac OS X, it depends on various things. If you set up personal web sharing, your root folder is always /Library/WebServer/Documents folder for the computer (if you don't edit the httpd.conf file of Apache manually), for the user accounts it's the /Users/username/Web-Sites folder.
