   I've hard coded (complete URL) a graphic (xml_button.gif) using a Textbox Widget on my Sidebar. It appears just fine on the Home page but upon navigating to any other page the graphic disappears and the "alt" text for the graphic appears. I scoured the Codex and search both the Docs and Support Forums but can find no reference to a similar problem.

   Any suggestions would be helpful.

   Thank you,
   Alan

   I cannot directly see what the problem is. I have tested some changes to your Stylesheet to no effect, but I found your <img> tag a bit puzzling. It looks like this:
   <img src="images/xml_button.gif"
alt="Subscribe to my feed"
width="36" height="14" border="0" scr=http://www.collectingsf.com/bookworm/images/xml_button.gif" />

   Why do you have two 'src' attributes? Can this cause the problem. You are trying to get the same picture using both a relative and an absolute URL.

   Why?

   Petit,

   Thank you! The first reference to the relative path "images/xml_button.gif" was mistakenly left in when I inserted the absolute path. It seemed to be causing the problem.

   Thanks for pointing it out to me. Guess it's true that you can't alway proof read your own work!

   Cheers,
   Alan
