Thanks for your response.
The html files display files fine when I open them using eg javascript window.open(...), it's just when they are viewed via jsp include that I have the problem. The html files are generated by MS
Word so the embedded image is specified like " <v:imagedata src="./2_files/image001.gif" o:title="pic"/>". I was just wondering if there is any way to get round this problem with the relative path used.
