Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting images to show up on the browser. I added an image to the public/images directory in Textmate, however all I get is the image alt information when I refresh my browser.

In addition (oddly), whenever I close Textmate out and reopen it, the image file I inserted in public/images is gone. I couldn't find anything helpful from google when I entered the information.

I appreciate any help.

Sounds like the image file isn't actually getting put where you think it is. Why not use the Finder or the command line to put the file in the right place?

Best,

Thanks for the replies everyone,

Adding the file directly within the finder worked (Marnen's suggestion). I tried doing

<%= image_tag("/images/kanagawa.jpg") %>

but that didn't work either. Adding image files that aren't really associated with your application must be a curiosity within Textmate itself.

Thanks everyone for your help!
