Works just fine for me in both IE and Netscape using jdk1.2.1 on WinNT.

What is actually happening?
What version of the jdk and os are you?

Dear sir,
I am using Windows 98 as OS & jdk1.2.2 and the Browser
is IE5.0 . The problem with this is The image is in one disk
"D:" drive and the program i.e. jdk1.2.2 is in C: drive. If we
copy the image from D: drive to c:\jdk1.2.2\bin then the program
is working.

You chose to use this version of getImage.
img=getImage(getDocumentBase(),getParameter("img"));
This is saying "look in the directory that my html is in and find this image file". Then you put the image file someplace else. Either you need to DO what you SAID, or you need to call your file using a different syntax.
Try something like:
img=getImage(new URL("d:\simran~1"),"simran18.jpg");
(I didn't try this line).

Dear sir,
I tried the statement that was said by You. i.e.
img=getImage(new URL("d:\simran~1"),"simran18.jpg");
But its not working. To use the URL's we have to use the main() method.
Will you suggest me some other solution. Thanks for giving response.
One more to say is:
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.getImage(img,10,10,this);
}
the method getImage is returning boolean value "false" which specifies that "image not found".

Is the file actually in a directory named d:\simran~1 fully and completely (looks like a temporary alias for the directory). The URL must have the full path to the directory.
