HTML - Linking To Root

Hello,
NVM. solved, delete please.

Hi all,
I am trying to get the faveicon on my webpage. I have read some places that IE needs the image to be in the root folder of the web server. Is this true? Has anyone got it to work with the image in a different folder?

The reason I ask is because I have some trouble accessing files in the root folder. If it is possible not to use it I would prefer to.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jehan

Hey. I was wondering if this php code can be put into html?
HTML Code:

include($phpbb_root_path . 'PATH' . $phpEx); 

Or is there some other html code with does that same job?

So here's the sitch:

Our website, Watershedpdx.com, works from its outside IP address UNLESS you are inside our local area network. It's a Comcast issue, and their router seems unable to rout internal requests for our own IP from the internal and around to the router.

I know I could modify the .hosts file on every computer and such, but for now, I've opted for a slightly different solution:


If I'm inside the building, I check our own website with it's local IP:

http://10.1.10.197

Now, the issue comes up because I'm streaming video to the web at http://10.1.10.197:8079 and http://10.1.10.197:8078

Is there a way to reference this in the code without the IP address?

For this to be visible to the internet, I link it in the code as http://watershedpdx.com:8078 - but then the computers in the building can't see it.


Is there a reference like http://..:8078 that would work?

Hi all,

Sorry for such an elementary question but up until now I have always used ../ for my references. So I don't have to duplicate code I decided to use ~/ for some referenced links and it doesn't seem to work. Get 404 on the requests. Ok.. what am I missing?

Much thanks!

Hi,

I'm running a personal server on my PC and have an image gallery script that serves up files outside of the root directory.

I am trying to add image tags to folders on my hard drive and it will not display. If I go to the address directly, it shows up fine.

Here's what I'm working with:
<img src='file:///media/sda3/pic/toronto/beach000.jpg'>
shows nothing but going to the address does.


Anybody know what to do?

I'm trying to fix up my code a bit so all the files I'm pointing to are relative to the root of the site. Most of my links used to look something like this (all these link examples came from same file)...

<link href="css/styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="scripts/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php include('includes/header.html');?>
<img src="images/maps/pic1.jpg">

The above was fine as long as my site stayed small, with few pages all in same directory. However, bigger projects require pages in different folders, sometimes in subfolders, yet all these pages share certain characteristics - headers, footers, etc. So I need to start specifying links to those files relative to the root. Here are the same examples, but now starting from the root of my site. They all work, except for my includes.

<link href=" / css/styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src=" / scripts/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php include(' / includes/header.html');?>
<img src=" / images/maps/pic1.jpg">

Any idea why the includes won't work? Works fine as long as I don't put that / in there.

Wicked simple question:

I have three images located in my "images folder"

My Top level looks like this
-images- (folder)
-party- (folder)
index.html

In my "party" folder I have a page called "events.html" and I need to know how to call an image in my "events.html" located on the top level folder "image"

I know if i move the event.htmls to the top level I could call it by this:
<img src="/images/picture1.gif">

However I DONT want to move the events.html, so how do I call the image?

O and I am not looking for the answer :

put the "http://www.sitename.com/images/" in the image tag

ANY HELP THANKS!!!!!

Hi all,

I have a query that I hope somebody can help with as my site has been brought to a standstill because of this problem.
I have just posted the new version of my site online and I have a folder below the domain root which contains things like database info, form scripts etc.

When I process the form I get a 404 error. the action is something like

HTML Code:

action="../includes/process_form.php"

There is no need to any output from these files as they process the information and direct to the relevant files above the domain root using php header scripts.

At the beginning of most of my files I have the following
PHP Code:
<?php
$security = 'secure';
require('../includes/default.php');
require('../includes/error_handlers.php');
require('../includes/db.php');
?>

and there is no problem with these whatsoever.
I had all of the scripts working fine when I tested them at
domainroot.co.uk/take2/public/
domainroot.co.uk/take2/includes/

Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening

Any help would be appreciated

hi again, i think that i know the answer to this question...but i needed reassuring.
basically my website's hierarchy is pretty confusing but it seems to link fine on my computer and everything, then it didn't link on the school computers but i solved that problem because all that was wrong was the file pathways were different.
Now however when my teacher tries to open my files, all she gets is that file that cant be found stuff. Do you think maybe the problem could be that my files are too complicated and that maybe i should put all my pages in one place and then all my other files in folders underneath those...
please tell me your advice, with many thx
Sam

Greetings to all.

I have been trying to sort this problem for a very long time.

I have 2 frames on my web page, one is the contents.

Can I link to a specific part of another frame? I don't think HTML allows this - or does it?

Help please.

First off, I would classify myself as having a basic working knowledge of HTML, but I'm far from experienced. I use Expressions (I know, first mistake), and do at least 50% of the work in the code view window.

I'm having a problem right now linking a PPS document. I made the PPT and saved it as a PPS, and linked it using
<a href="images/anamaited.pps" target="_blank">
When I preview the website on my computer and click the link the document opens in a new explorer window as a PPS, but when I publish the site and click the link it downloads the document and opens PPT.

I don't want visitors opening my presentation in PPT, is there anyway to have the pps display in a browser window or do I have to convert the PPS into flash?

If I need to display it as a different file type, I need to do it for free, any suggestions?

-edit- wanted to clairfy when I click the link on the live site, it actually opens MS PowerPoint, not a new browser window as the tag specifies.
