Just a little Question...

[Christopher]

I am not new to HTML and all, but I have never actually learnt how to do this...

Lets say you have a page in a directory, lets say
yoursite/info/page.html

And you want to get a picture from
yoursite/images/pic.gif

How do you do that? Do you need the basehref tag?

I would do that, but my all of my pages are in a top-middle-bottom type format, I include the top with php include() then put in my middle, then inlcude the bottom.

I don't know how to link the includes if I am in another directory, do I just put in all of the address (ex. http://yourname.com/includes/top.php) or is there another way?

I don't know if I made this clear or not, if I didn't please ask! I need help!

[Christopher]

Why doesn't anyone help? :cry2:

I don't understand...where does php come in? If you are saying you want to know how to write the path to that image in an image tag try:

<img src="../images/pic.gif" width="" height="">

"../" gets you one directory up from where the html doc is "images/" gets you down in the images folder.

Is that what you're asking? :confused:

[Christopher]

So, what if I wanted to go up like 3 directoies? ../../../?

You've got it baby! :D

You could also write the path from the web root (hopefully your main folder) if the server is set up that way. If "yourname" is your root then it would be like so, with just a beginning slash:

/images/pic.gif

The first way is safer if you play around on free hosts and move a lot because not all allow the root thing.

Yay! Thanx meow! :D


Im off to make a new design now, :biggrin2:

Im hosted at emunetwork.. Wonder if they have it... :confused2

I meant safer because if you move you may have to rewrite all paths.
The ../yadda/ always works and works locally on your machine too - the root thing does not..

Ahhhh, I see.
