Include files

[JA]

This seems like it is not the right place to ask this question, but I can't
find a place that is! It is for a FrontPage site, so hopefully someone will
know. I just write this include in myself, I don't use FPs include.

I have some asp pages that use a header. This is the include:

<!--#include file="include/header.htm"-->

This is for pages that are above the folder "include".
Root/subfolder/include/header.htm
The pages are in subfolder.

Inside of subfolder, I have a FAQs folder.
Root/subfolder/FAQs

The include I use is:

<!--#include file="../../subfolder/include/header.htm"-->

But the header doesn't display right. It has the images as coming from

http://www.root.com/subfolder/faqs/include/headerimages/home.gif

even though the ../../ should take it up to the right folder. I've tried

/subfolder/include/header.htm

But I get an error saying I can't start with a slash. I've tried using the
entire url, but that doesn't work either, and I knew that, but I tried it.

Does anyone know how this needs to be written???

Thanks, JA

use virtual include files
http://www.powerasp.com/content/code-snippets/includes.asp
then in the code of your include files reference all image and links with
abosulte ulrs or virtual urls so they will work from any directory level

Thanks, Kyle, that worked - giving the images their full path names.
