deckhardt -> SSI's lose links to images (10/18/2001 16:11:00)

Hello,

I want to use server side includes for global navigation in my subwebs.

When I do the text comes over but none of the graphics. (the dreaded red X)

The links all point to the images directory on the including page rather than where they came from.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks,

Dave

If you're using asp includes, you just have to make sure that the path is correct from the page to the image. You can't necessarily use the same include on all pages becaue some pages might be burrined in a series of folders while others are not. That means the path will be wrong on some and not on others.

If you're using FP Include pages, you don't have to worry about that. FP will figure that out for you on each page they're used.

When using SSIs I have always found it it best to use only absolute URLs for links, all links within the site, not just images. So instead of images/picture.gif I would use http://www.thesite.com/iamges/picture.gif

As Thomas says one of the advantages of include pages is that this is all taken care of by FP, which is why unless I particularly need SSI I prefer them.
