CF Include Problem

[Glenn_Stern]

All,

I'm using CF inludes for my website, and they all have images in them. The
only way I can get the images to show up in the browser is by hardcoding the
entire path ([url]http://www.mysite.com/images[/url]....) in the image source code. In the
past I have used library items and DW always rewrote the code to resolve the
images paths - I expected this to be the case with the CF inclues as well.

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Hi Glenn,

When you include a file, the *server* simply drops the contents of the
include into the calling page. I like to think of it as server-side
copy/paste :). The best way to get around this is to use root relative
paths. So if you had an image here:

[url]http://www.mysite.com/images/myimage.gif[/url]

You would set up your image inside an include like so:

<img src="/images/myimage.gif" />

Then, regardless of where you used the include, it would render correctly.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
