Referencing Images

When you install Oracle HTML DB, the installer creates a virtual directory for images. This virtual directory points to the actual path on the file system that contains uploaded images. By default, you reference this virtual directory using the prefix:

/i/

When you create an application, you need to verify this prefix on the Edit Application Attributes page:

To verify the Image Prefix for an application:

1. Navigate to the Workspace home page.

2. Click the Application Builder icon.

3. Select an application.

4. On the Application home page, click Edit Attributes.

5. Click Edit Standard Attributes.

6. When the Edit Application Attributes page appears, locate the Image Prefix field.

   By default, this attribute is defined as /i/. Contact your administrator for information about the name of this virtual directory for your installation.

When you embed an image in static text (for example, in page or region headers or footers) you can reference the image using the substitution string #IMAGE_PREFIX#. For example, to reference the image go.gif you would use the following syntax:

<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#go.gif">

Alternatively, you can also reference an image using a fully qualified URL. For example:

<img src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/navbar2000/logo-no-border(1).gif">
