how to display image in custom module?

I am working for quite a while with mambo,

now i came upon something really stupid...

i don't know how to display an image in a custom mudule...

i use the tiny mce editor, click modules, new module and in the custom output i click insert image, i point it to the right url (in stories) and click saves it.

Whatever i try, whatever i do , the image isn't published.
Guess i am forgetting something but dunno what...

image is located @ <img src="http://localhost:85/mambo452/images/stories/brandweer.jpg" align="left" hspace="6" alt="brandweer.jpg" />

if i insert that link (<img border="0" src="../../../images/stories/brandweer.jpg" /> i see the image in the preview content window, but the frontend does not display that image

what am i doing wrong?

it is absurd to write a complete module just to display 1 image

thx

Use an HTTP address for the image... click on the insert image icon and put in the link to it (not the img src). It works on my site.

You can use a relative path if you want.. you dont have to use the full web address... Do you get anything? A red X? An error in the module? Anything?
