Inserting an image

Question

Hello,
I am new to Application Express and am trying to create a database application. I signed up and requested a workspace and have been working totally online to create the application.
I created a page and imported some images to Shared Components/Files/Images. Now when I try to use an image on the page I'm getting the little white box with the red X in it. I have used all of the following:
<link rel="image" href="/i/COLlogo.jpg" type="image" />
<img src="/i/#IMAGE_PREFIX#COLlogo.jpg">
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#COLlogo.jpg">
<a href="#"><img src="/i.COLlogo.jpg" /></a>
<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#/COLlogo.jpg" />Can anyone provide some guidance?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already&mdash;the properly posted code suggests you have), and ensure you have updated with your profile with a real handle instead of "866665".
You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>APEX version
<li>DB version and edition
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
<li>Browser(s)/version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Templates
<li>Region type
Most of which we can read as implied by using apex.oracle.com, but it would still be helpful to know where you want to the display the image(s): HTML region? Other region header/footer? Page template?
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#COLlogo.jpg" alt="" />or
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#COLlogo.jpg" alt="" />should do it, depending on whether the image is associated with a particular application or not. Filenames are also case-sensitive so check that.
One of the great things about using apex.oracle.com is that we can use actual working examples to demonstrate techniques and problems: you could post a link to this page (and share some guest login credentials here) if you want someone to take a look...

<img src="/i/#IMAGE_PREFIX#COLlogo.jpg">
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#COLlogo.jpg">
<a href="#"><img src="/i.COLlogo.jpg" /></a>
<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#/COLlogo.jpg" />This hints at some confusion. Have you been looking at this section of the documentation? It's very unclear (and long overdue for revision Oracle!) as it describes uploading images to the APEX repository then immediately explains how to reference images that are stored somewhere else entirely. #APP_IMAGES# and #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# are the substitution strings used to reference images stored in the APEX repository.
