Did you make sure to use the entire image path (including the http)? The only other thing I can think of would be to try changing the \" to \', but I doubt it would actually matter. It would help if you provided us with a link to the page.

thats easy do it like this

Step 1 Create a Table set up or if you use css do the same thing

Step 2: set the image as a background
CODE

<td background="yourimagehere.jpg">place javascript here</td>


Step 3: Put your javascript into that table and it should work.

  5. Php Source Code Unveiled In Browser?

    PHP is not correctly configured on the web server the source code of a php file we try to access
    through a browser will be shown instead of the result of the code itself. This will normally not
    happen when PHP is working properly, but I was just wondering if it could still be possible to see
    that code if a user wanted to or if something on the server failed. This would for example expose
    sensitive information like mysql passwords and so on... Is anything like that possib....
