how to get images from a local folder to display on div element html?

Question

I am having few jpeg images on "C:/images/". I would like to slide show these images on a web page.I am using java code to get the right path of the image folder and jsp as front end having html div element to display the image. I have tried like this to display single image but failed, could anyone please help me out

  <div id="image" style="background-color:yellow;  height:200px; width:100px;float:left;">
  <img src="C:/Desktop/Images/Image1.jpg" style="height:200px; width:100px;floatleft;">

You have a typo here float:left; You forgot the : .Have you tried to use the path relative to the path of the html document? — Igl3

You said two different things, first "C:/images/" then in your code "C:/Desktop/Images/". You sure you just didn't look in the wrong place? (remember it is case sensitive) — Ruddy

@Ruddy tried C:/Desktop/Images/Image1.jpg" is correct, but still fails to display — user1754940

Same question in this post: Why can't I do <img src="C:/localfile.jpg">?

but you can use "../" to locate the correct path. http://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/missing.html

But why you don't want to make a folder on your on application. It is more easier than access it on your desktop, etc.

Why not just move the image to your root folder and link it?
If you need it in the C:/ folder, try doing what Newbie said, and use ../ to find the correct path.
