I am trying to enable Category icons
the code I use is

CODE

<IMG SRC="http://www.seadoc.net/sd/icon/<$MTEntryCategory$ dirify='1'>.gif" alt="<$MTEntryCategory$>" border=0>

When I rebuild I don't have any errors and the code is inside the correct container

When I view the page I get an icon Placeholder but no GIF.
Viewing the source gives:

CODE

<IMG SRC="http://www.seadoc.net/sd/icon/<$MTEntryCategory$ dirify='1'>.gif" alt="Perspective" border=0>

MT is parsing the ALT tage but not the SRC tag

Any help??

never mind. I found the error.
For the future:

CODE

<$MTEntryCategory$ dirify='1">

needed to be

CODE

<$MTEntryCategory dirify='1"$>

stupid typos

Yes, your $ needed moving, but you also should have double quotes " on both sides of the 1 - like this:

CODE

<$MTEntryCategory dirify="1"$>
