Root relative images and design view

I have many sites that have root relative image paths
(src="\images\sample.gif") that I've coded by hand in DW8.

I don't use design view that much, buy one of our designers does. The problem
is none of the images with root-relative paths will appear in design view.

I have specified valid paths in my site definitions, so what's the issue?

Hard to say - perhaps the developer's site is not properly defined. There
should be no issue displaying root relative linked images in DW's Design
view, since DW knows where the root of the site is. What is in the HTTP
address field of the local site definition?

i hate it when people say "forward-slash." it's just slash!

There is no such thing as a backslash in a url path.

src="/images/sample.gif"

The backslash's prominence in Microsoft path names might explain why the
forward slashes in URLs are occasionally (and erroneously) read out loud as
"backslash". It has even led to its erroneous placement in contexts not
relating to directories, or computers at all, for that matter. URLs always
exclusively contain slashes, sometimes referred to as "forward" slashes in
an attempt to clarify the distinction.

I posted a screenshot of my site def to Murray directly.

He suggested I delete the HTTP address entry in the site def and that
did the trick.

Thank you Murray, for your prompt and friendly help.

Good luck! Thanks for the follow-up post....
