Apex Image

Hi,

 

This might be very silly to ask but i am facing a small issue , I need a simple information regarding passing the image URL in the apex:image tag.

How can we pass a url or the source to the image. For instance i have an image on my local harddrive how can i make it display for an image button.

 

please let me know the steps:

I tried storing the image file within the documents section.but unable to access that....

 

Thanks

Look at loading your image as a Static Resource then you can use the global variable $Resource to reference your image.  For example, if youuploaded your image as a static resource and gave it the name "cancel", you could use the code below to reference it.  If you search on Static Resource and Image you will find lots of examples.

 

 

<img src="{!$Resource.cancel}" border="0"/>

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the soln.

 

I have an issue with expand and collapse functionality to be impleamented with a visual force page.

The thing is that i have a list of values which are to bind to  a datatable or page block table and for each row within the parent Table i have a child table within it.When clicked on the particular column of a row i want to display the child table and hide when again clicked.

 

Is that possible please let me know...

provide with an example if any....

 

 

Thanks
