How to link to a static image from component

Hi,

From a component, I want to display an image from the html <img> tag.
What is the format of the src to be used?

This is working, but is it the right way to do?
<img src="/sites/mysite/res/images/myimage.gif" border="0"/>

Thanks, Greg.

you should use $URL_PREFIX <path relative to workarea> (without the <>)

To do a more cleaner implementation:
have the following html:


<img alt="something text">
     <xsl:attribute name="src">
         <xsl:value-of select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name='imageURL']"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
</img>

and in the content XML have


<Properties>
    <Data>
       <Datum ID="ID01" Type="String" Name="imageURL">$PATH_TO_URL</Datum>
    </Data>
</Properties>

a better approach would be to use the File type datum (see online help in component edit window) also a good example is the Basic Image component that ships with livesite.
