How I am currently trying (no avail) ...

Site Building > Views > Edit myView > Default display > Header

-check Display even if view has no content
-enter Only local images are allowed. in the input box
-Input format is set to FullHTML
-Update
-Save
-Preview

Problem 1
-I have the Path to the image wrong, the alt tag shows

Problem 2
-The alt tag Is displayed in the live preview, but not on the site.

So, Where are Views location in the drupal directory? So I can Fix problem 1

And, How can I get the image to be visible on the site?

EDIT: I got the image to work with the path - /sites/all/themes/mysite/ images/myimage.png . After that it still didn't show on the site, only in the view live preview, so I set a style with absolute positioning and a couple random numbers for left: and top: and I got it visible. A rogue style must have been tossing it out of site.

Views are dynamically generated content at a path and as such have no real location. The image will show when you get the path to it correct. Without any other information it is very hard to tell you how to correct the path to the image because you haven't said what path you are trying.

The path that does not work is - img src="../images/plan/myimage.png" alt="my-image"

The '../' is backing out of the templates directory inside the theme's directory.

>>But shouldn't the alt tag show either way?
