    Default document relative server-side includes and drafts

    Hello,

    On our intranet, I have created Dreamweaver templates for Contribute (and
    Dreamweaver) users with a left-menu server side include that is relative to the
    document <!-- #include file="left-menu.htm" --> This works great for the
    different departments that each have their own left menus that they maintain.

    The system works fairly well unless you are attempting to use the "Send for
    Review" (draft) functionality. With drafts, the Contribute system creates a
    temporary directory and sticks the web page in there. Unfortunately, the
    left-menu.htm isn't included, and causes the page to return an IIS 500 (ASP
    error) - no left-menu.htm found.

    I don't want to switch to site relative links b/c I think that would be beyond
    the user's abilities.

    Any way to make Contribute aware of the relative includes, or to copy a copy
    of the left-menu.htm automatically in the temporary drafts/review directory?

    Thanks,

    Mark
