How to stop img src from using current URL plus URL in script

Question

I have an image inside a div tag so that on clicking this image, javascript shows/hides another div tag each time this image is clicked. This scripting is used in a Widget on Wordpress, so it is present on every page of the website.

The problem is, the image inside this div tag doesn't show. I have right clicked the 'no image' icon and chosen 'open image in new tab' and the URL is saying: www.DOMAIN.com/www.DOMAIN.com/image rather than what is written in the img src, which is www.DOMAIN.com/image.

If I change it the src URL to =image it works, but if I try this from any other page, it includes that page too i.e. www.DOMAIN.com/contact/image and this isn't where the image is found.

Is there a bit of coding I can put in the div tag, a tag or img tag or similar that will use the absolute location that I have specified?

I would recommend showing us some code and the community can assist you better. — xivo

Use http:// in front of your src attribute. For example, src="http://DOMAIN.com/image instead of src="DOMAIN.com/image".

After all day searching and it was as simple as that! Thanks that worked. I have also found a work around of setting a base href around the image tag. (was just about to list it on here and saw your answer) Thanks arxanas!

Don't use the base tag. stackoverflow.com/questions/1889076/…
