can I reference an image that sites for example on http://www.mydomain.com/images/xx.jpg in a container field?

and if so, would the path in the container look like this:

image:/http://www.mydomain.com/images/xx.jpg ??

or is there something i am overlooking?

thanks

for images to be viewed in IWP the images must be stored within the file not as reference.

For better image management check out 360Works SuperContainer.

I currently have them as a reference in my IWP solution(inside the web folder) and it is working well- I am just suffering from a 380Kbs upload limit, so anybody trying to look at the images is not very happy. I was hoping to utilize the much faster speeds of our webhost for serving the images. I will look at your suggestion - thanks.
