You can reference images in your application by referencing the substitution string #IMAGE_PREFIX# or including a fully qualified URL to the image.

Verifying the Prefix for the Virtual Image Directory
When you install Application Builder, 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 first create an application, you need to verify this prefix on the Edit Application Attributes page:
To verify the Image Prefix for an application:
-
On the Database Home Page, click the Application Builder icon.
-
Select an application.
-
On the Application home page, click Edit Attributes.
-
Click Edit Standard Attributes.
-
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.
Referencing an Image Using #IMAGE_PREFIX#
When you embed an image in static text (for example, in page headers, 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">
Referencing Images Using a Fully Qualified URL
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">
