ShopSite Forums

Hi,
I'm new to shopsite and trying to work with custom templates.
I created a template based on the existing SC template,

I'm trying to wrap the shopping cart inside the general look of the website,
so I'm building the template to include the general look and navigation of
the site.

I did this by building the template with the needed SC tags inside a table
in the main block of the page, great.

Now I uploaded this template to previewed it (tried assigning it in general
to the store as well.) None of my html image tags are being properly pulled
up to construct the page, instead the source code is coming up. while the
actual shopping cart portion is fine

for ex:
in the source of the page:
td>image src="/images/blank.gif" width="16" height="16" /

this should pull up the image from my ssl directory, instead the page is
skewy and I'm getting the actual code where the image should be in the
generated page:
image src="/images/blank.gif" width="16" height="16" /

the regular SC images, like:
input type=image src="....../ss_images/en-CA/continue_shopping.gif"

are coming up just fine, I'm confused - can anyone point me in the direction
I've gone wrong?

I thought maybe my relative urls were wrong, so I put in a full reference to
the images using https://mydomain/ssl/images/blank.gif and that did the
same..

Thanks for any insight

I would start by checking all of your html.

"for ex:
in the source of the page:
td>image src="/images/blank.gif" width="16" height="16" />"
^

td><image src="/images/blank.gif" width="16" height="16" />"
^

Hi Keith,

thank you for the reply,
That was quick cut & paste errors in my examples as i was 'multitasking' at
the time lol,
but I figured it out nonetheless, it works when the an input type is used
instead:
input type=image src="/images/blank.gif" /

I didn't find that in the shopsite documentation, but tried it from the
source codes from the image files in the regular shopsite outputs.

thanks!
saus
