Hello!
I have created a new block that I want to show on ALL pages. In this block I have the following code:

<a href='#'><img src='misc/headerjl.png'></a><a href='#'><img src='misc/headerpb.png'></a>

Now here is the problem, the block will show just fine on the frontpage /node. But it wont show up in any other place on the whole website. I have configured the block to show on all pages and visible for all users logged in or not. The block will show just fine on ALL pages if I remove the IMG tags and only have links. I use Full HTML formatting so img tags should be allowed...

Anyone have an idea?

Your images are using relative paths which mean that works fine on the home page where misc/headerjl.png reads as http://mysite.com/misc/headerjl.png but when you go to another page, say node/2, that img path becomes http://mysite.com/node/2/misc/headerjl.png, which is not where the image is, hence it doesn't display. You need to use an absolute path like src="/misc/headerjl.png".

There was something wrong with the linking. /misc/headerjl.png didnt work better so instead I had to add http://www.sitename.com/misc/headerjl.png
That worked, why is it so?
