In my .html page layout file, I have this code

    <!--<asp:Image runat="server" imageurl="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/en-us/help.gif %>" alternatetext="More information" />-->

And then in the rendered client side result, if I view the source of the page, it looks like

    <!--<img src="/Style%20Library/en-us/help.gif" alt="More information" />-->

and the comments prevent it from being parsed into an image. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

since the comments are the HTML-specific comments, the content of the aspx will be computed on the serverside anyway. That's why you see the image Tag on the client side with the computed URL. The comment-Tag is only interpreted on the clientside which means, that the image-Tag is not present in the UI.

If you want it to be shown, simply remove "<!--" from before the control and "-->" after it.

Kind regards!

I tried but it crashes because for SP2013 html pages, controls need comments around it.

Hi

enclose it in <!--MS:--> and <!--ME:--> tag when adding any control to html page while using with Sharepoint Design manager.

<!--MS: <asp:Image runat="server" imageurl="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/en-us/help.gif %>" alternatetext="More information">--> 

<!--ME:</asp:Image>--> 

Hope this help.
