  • Subject: Re: Servlet not displaying background GIF

I think I'd put the image in a separate directory and supply an absolute path 
to it:

  out.print("<BODY BACKGROUND=\"/images/as400.gif\">");

I am trying to display a background GIF file in my servlet running
under Websphere 2.03. If I alter the code to use BGCOLOR the colour
of the background changes, but I cannot get the servlet to display
the background image.
If I view the source from the Servlet web page and save this as an html
file I can, when serving the web page from my AS/400, display the
background gif.

Below is an excerpt from the superclass which defines [some] of the html
source:

 protected void outputHeader(PrintWriter out, String title) throws IOException
  flexLog(title + ": outputHeader()...");
  out.print("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>" + title + "</TITLE>");
  out.println("</HEAD><BODY>");
  out.print("<BODY BACKGROUND=\"as400.gif\">");
  flexLog(title + ": outputHeader() executed.");
 } // end outputHeader()
