Re: [mv] So How Does MV Process Background Images?
Honestly I remove/comment our that IMAGE_DIR thing in the catalog.cfg
In my code I just do <img src="/whatever/whatever/something.jpg">
the best way to see what is going on is, look at the page info (in
netscape) it will give you a list of images on the site, you can
click on each one and it will display it or show a broken image.
OR you cna look at the source of the output and see what path it's using.
