[OpenLayers-Users] openlayers not showing image

[sunny74]

I have an image in my file system.The image is to be shown repeatedly in a
map at different positions(lonlat) bec' it is a tracking.
But openlayers is unable to retrieve the png file from the location and show
it  on the map.
When I put the path directly in a browser(IE or Firefox) I see the image.
The function is as below:

function putmarker(longi, latti,wk) {
      if (tmarkers != null)
          tmarkers.destroy(tmarkers);
      tmarkers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers("Markers");
      //alert(tmarkers);
      map.addLayer(tmarkers);
      
      
      var lon1 = longi; var lat1 = latti;
      //alert(lon1);
      //alert(lat1);
      var size = new OpenLayers.Size(25, 21);
      var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w / 2), -size.h);
      //alert(offset);
      var icon = new OpenLayers.Icon('D:/WRMaps/Images/marker-blue.png',
size, offset);
      //alert(icon);
      tmarkers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(longi,
latti), icon));
      
      
      
      var x = readCookie('trackingcookie');

      if (x) {
          //alert('cookie exists');
          var cookval = readCookie('trackingcookie');
          //alert(cookval);
          //var cookarr = [];
          cookval1 = cookval.toString();
          //var pos1 = cookval1.indexOf('=');
          //var pos3 = wktstr.indexOf('t');
          //alert(pos1);
//          var prevlonlat = cookval1.slice(pos1 + 1, pos3 - 1);
//          alert("prevlonlat: " + prevlonlat);
          var parser = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT();
          var wkt = "LINESTRING(" + cookval1 + "," + wk + ")";
          //alert(wkt);
          highlight.addFeatures(parser.read(wkt));
          //alert("cookarr length "+ cookarr.length);
          ResetCokie("trackingcookie", wk, 1);        

      }
      else {
          //create the cookie bec' there is no previous point
          Createcookie("trackingcookie", longi + ' ' + latti, 1);
          //alert('else');
      }

  }
The icon is not seen on the map.

Later I changed the code and used url instead.But the result is same.

function putmarker(longi, latti,wk) {
      if (tmarkers != null)
          tmarkers.destroy(tmarkers);
      tmarkers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers("Markers");
      //alert(tmarkers);
      map.addLayer(tmarkers);
      var timestamp = new Date().getTime();
      var url2 = "Http://172.16.0.144:9000/cgi-bin/Shape/marker-blue.png";
      url2 += '?' + timestamp;
      
      var lon1 = longi; var lat1 = latti;
      //alert(lon1);
      //alert(lat1);
      var size = new OpenLayers.Size(25, 21);
      var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w / 2), -size.h);
      //alert(offset);
      var icon = new OpenLayers.Icon(url2, size, offset);
      //alert(icon);
      tmarkers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(longi,
latti), icon));
      tmarkers.setUrl(url2);
      
      
      var x = readCookie('trackingcookie');

      if (x) {
          //alert('cookie exists');
          var cookval = readCookie('trackingcookie');
          //alert(cookval);
          //var cookarr = [];
          cookval1 = cookval.toString();
          //var pos1 = cookval1.indexOf('=');
          //var pos3 = wktstr.indexOf('t');
          //alert(pos1);
//          var prevlonlat = cookval1.slice(pos1 + 1, pos3 - 1);
//          alert("prevlonlat: " + prevlonlat);
          var parser = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT();
          var wkt = "LINESTRING(" + cookval1 + "," + wk + ")";
          //alert(wkt);
          highlight.addFeatures(parser.read(wkt));
          //alert("cookarr length "+ cookarr.length);
          ResetCokie("trackingcookie", wk, 1);        

      }
      else {
          //create the cookie bec' there is no previous point
          Createcookie("trackingcookie", longi + ' ' + latti, 1);
          //alert('else');
      }

  }

Again the icon doesn't show up. So displaying an image using openlayers is a
huge problem.

Any solution??

Thanks for ur reply.
