Parent Path with Active Server Pages

[Kevin]

Keep getting the error below, because am using the ../ notation for an
include file in the root of a website.
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131' Disallowed Parent Path The Include
file '../vbutils.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.
The webhosts will not change their settings on IIS6, because of a potential
security issue.
Can I overcome this problem by coding???

You can overcome it by using absolute URLs.

Re: Parent Path with Active Server PagesOnly problem with using absolute paths is that the development server and the production server must be identical - which sadly they are not.

Re: Parent Path with Active Server Pageswhy not just have the production server allow parent pathing? it would make your life easier.

Re: Parent Path with Active Server PagesIt would be wonderful - but the web hosting company will not allow this due to possible security issues. Would be nice to do this dynamically, by coding.
Have tried MapPath etc.

Use root relative links - example <a href="/folder/pagename.htm">blah</a>

The development and production servers should have identical file/folder
structures, else development and testing would be hit and miss.

Tried that and the result:-
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0130'
Invalid File attribute
/bizz/login.asp, line 3
File attribute '/vbutils.asp' cannot start with forward slash or back slash.
That also needs absolute paths on the server (
Even tried using FrontPage Include Pages - but that gets the same result.

Must be a way around this??? (

There is a solution but it requires using .NET which supports
the tilde operator, i.e. ~/folder/file.aspx

copy the includet file to all the folders where the asp-pages
and remuove manually the "../" from the source.

Would work but not a very elegant solution.
Think Microsoft missed this one as seems to be an odd and annoying error.
