Hi this few tips for you to add images in html page .

1 - using the tag img
ex: <img src="path of the image" width="28" height="21" alt="a mensage" >

2 - using the property background of tag body
<body background="image URL">

3 - using css to add an image as background
<style type="text/css">

</style>

# there are more attributes to set the image as a background css
I recommend you read something about css, HTML 4.0 and xhtml.

# and do not forget the image directory has to be added in propath.

maybe the issue
is with the extension of the image
always use image with extension .jpg , .jpeg, .gif, .PNG .

maybe be the issue .

These are the ways that i tried but on one was successfull to show my image:
Using css:
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: url('images/bckg.gif');//even if use backgroun-image,it doesnt work but when i change the value part of background into just colors,instead or url('path'), it works..
}
</style>

Inside html:
<html>
<head>
<title> Image </title>
</head>
<body background="images/bckg.gif">
</body>
</html>

Please examin my codes if i missed something..im working with my layout now and i cant start pasting images because of that..thanks again gean melo...have a great day..

Not sure you can embed images like you can html; instead the dynamically generated html references the location of the static content. Static content like the "images" directory should NOT be in your working directory; it should be off the web root and therefore available to be served.

IIS example:

IF DIR = C:\inetpub\www\images
THEN CSS = {background-image: url('/images/somepic.jpg');}
THEN HTM = <IMG SRC="/images/somepic.jpg" />

Apache example:

IF DIR = /var/www/images
THEN CSS = {background-image: url('/images/somepic.jpg');}
THEN HTM =<IMG SRC="/images/somepic.jpg" />

You may also want to check for upper/lower case issues, spaces, or symbols in the path as these can be problematic as well. The easiest way to check a url is to test the absolute path in your browser, something like:

"http://localhost/images/somepic.jpg"
"http://[host]/images/somepic.jpg"

If you see it using the absolute address, you should be able to drop the method://host and still know you're green.

On the other Hand:

If you really wanted to embed those images I suppose you could (given support by your version of progress 10.1a+) store and retrieve them as Binary or BLOB's.
