HTML - Does Ie Need Faveicon Image To Be In Root Folder?

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to provide links or image links to a file in the root directory of my domain. I know there's the "/" method but it will not do for me because I maintain the files offline on my PC, and if I used "/" then it will not refer correctly.

Example:

Code:

<IMG SRC="/example.gif">

This will work 100% of the time when it's uploaded on the web, regardless of which directory the HTML file is at, I will still open the same "example.gif" at the root dir. Perfect.

But since I'm maintaining the files offline (before uploading), this causes a problem as I will have numerous "broken links". FYI I even tried to map my folder to a drive (W, or placing the entire file system on a USB drive, but none of those work.

I realise I could use

Code:

<IMG SRC="../../example.gif">

and so on, but shouldn't there be an easier method?

I have a little problem with my server, I know it is EASILY solved, but I don't know how.

The pages work fine if they are in ROOT, like index.html in ROOT is fine, but when I make a new HTML in a subfolder, ROOT/folder/index.php

All the coding messes up and cannot load the files from the root.

E.G:

My CSS is in my root, cssmovietick.css, this works fine for the php files in the root, but when I go into the sub folder, it cannot find it. Here is the code to find the CSS.

Quote:
<link href="cssmovietick.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
I'm pretty sure you understand

Hello,
NVM. solved, delete please.

Hi gurus, Excuse my rookie question. I am trying to build a small HTML page which has a formula in it . Please see attachement.

Its something like:

M = nth Root of ABC
----------------------------- - 1
_____________ XYZ

I am trying some combinations of &nbsp; and &radic; but cannot make it work. Is there a way to do it other than using the image tag.

THanks,
KOn

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!

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.

I am working on an ebook site and must provide it to a service that hosts ebooks and does marketing and other things for their clients beyond simply hosting. They have given me an instruction that I don't know what it means, and when I try it, it breaks my ability to preview the work I'm doing. I can only assume that whatever they're doing really needs it to be this way and that it won't truly be broken in their database. Btw, I'm building the individual pages and their database is linking the pages in the prev/next buttons.

Here's the instruction:
Make sure to label any links or images in a global, root-based manner, since once it's
called on from within another folder the links will be broken if you do not. Example:
img src="static/contact.jpg" SHOULD BE img src="/static/contact.jpg"

What does it mean? Do I need to take any precautions not mentioned here? Sorry but any question I ask them just seems to baffle them and makes me wish I had never asked it.


Thanks,
Gary

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?

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

Hallo,

I am very much a beginner with HTML and need some help. I have a very big photo gallery. What I want to do is make a link on an HTML page that will open up the folder so that you can browse through the photos.

Thanks in advance.

Ive got a url address connecting to a shared offline drive, for some reason it doesnt work when i put it into a link, although when i paste the address into a browser it works fine.

The link is '<A HREF="file://atlefs0027/dept$/Supply_Management/01 Bids JTB &amp; WB &amp; BB">Access Supply Management Drive</A>'

When i click on the link, the link removes the 'file://' and goes to 'atlefs0027/dept$/Supply_Management/01 Bids JTB &amp; WB &amp; BB'. Which ofcourse doesnt work.

How do i keep the 'file' part of the link?

Hi i need help i need to make a webpage that lists folders and subfolders within a folder and it needs to automaticaly update when a new folder is added Please help

Hi,
This is jyothi, i am creating tree folders in html but i don't know the correct script. Can anyone please help me.

Hi,

I have been following advice that I have read elsewhere to restructure my site to reflect the different parts, so splitting up images and html files into subfolders to make it all more manageable with regard to quickly identifying pages/images etc that relate to different parts of the site. Previously I have kept all html pages in public_html and all images in a folder public_html/img.

If I split them up as I have started to do, the only thing is I cannot see is how I can then link back from html pages in folders lower than the root back to the html pages actually in the root folder.

To explain what I mean: If some of my html pages are in subfolders of public_html but they all contain the links on the main 'tabs' of my site (home, contact, about etc) that reside in the public_html, how do I link back to the main pages from the pages stored lower down the structure?

Have I interpreted advice on folder structure incorrectly or am is there something I don't know?

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry, found the answer. No need to give me a solution.

I've decided to create a photo album in HTML (and Flash and CSS) using a nifty little Flash thing called SimpleViewer. However, I want multiple galleries, each within their own folder within the main photo gallery parent folder. How can I link something from one HTML file in a gallery's folder to the parent folder and then into another HTML file in another gallery's folder? Or if there's a way, directly to the other gallery's HTML file?

Note I'm keeping this gallery offline for now, I'm only using it to show family and friends and for myself as it's much less cumbersome than using software or the standard Windows XP folder structure.

Sorry if this is confusing, please say so if it is. Thanks in advance for all help, it's really appreciated.
