I'm trying to add an image to a generated html word document that is embedded in a classic ASP page. The code looks something like this:
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
%>
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">
...
<v:shape id="_x0000_s1030" type="#_x0000_t75" style='position:absolute;
left:0;text-align:left;margin-left:0;margin-top:17.95pt;width:7in;height:116.85pt;
z-index:2;mso-position-horizontal:center;mso-position-horizontal-relative:page;
mso-position-vertical-relative:page'>
<v:imagedata src="http://xxx/image001.gif" o:title="image001"/>
<w:wrap anchorx="page" anchory="page"/>
<w:anchorlock/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
absolute;z-index:0;left:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-top:24px;width:672px;
height:156px'><img width=672 height=156
src="http://xxx/image001.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_s1030"></span><![endif]>
The image URL is correct and can be viewed through a browser, however when the word document opens, the image has a red x, with the error message:
The image cannot be displayed. Your
computer may not have enough memory to
open the image, or the image may be
corrupted. Restart your computer, and
then open the file again. If the red x
still appears, you may have to delete
the image and then insert it again.
If i copy the html code and try to open the word document on my local machine, it displays the image correctly. It just doesn't work when retrieving the document from the server. This happens for any images I try to add. Is there another way to add images to html-generated word documents that can be output from an asp page?
Thanks.
