No bars shown on Poll

I do not understand

<td height="22"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="1">Getting into the straps</font></td>
<td nowrap height="22"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="1"><img src="/poll/image/darkgreen.gif" width="28" height="10"> 6</font></td>

However the bar shows in white.

The image darkgreen.gif exists in the /poll/image directory. The poll directory is in the root and these are set in the General Settings.

I'm using v2.03. IE7 installed.

Any ideas anyone?

Is your server Linux/Unix based?

If it is it may be looking in the root of your site because of the first /.
Try removing the / so it becomes an relative path rather than abosute.
If you want to keep the / then add . before to tell it to start from the current directory then poll... etc.

I am using a Linux host.

Thanks for your help here, and I think you are on the right lines. My site index file is in a directory called htdocs in the root and my polls page is in a subdirectory of that called html (\htdocs\html). I have placed the poll software in a directory called poll also in root (\poll).

When I do as you suggest the dialogues used by the poll admin routines loose their images. I suspect the answer to this is to install the poll software in the htdocs directory with my site.

I prefer to keep these separate if possible can you suggest any alternatives.

my polls are at http://www.rvsc.org.uk/html/polls.php
