that is what i thought and it works in all circumstances, except internet
explorer 5.0 for Mac

dear Sam

I like all your comments, however, none of them are actually related to my
question.

I know about j/j vs /j/j, the last one being the absolute path, however, my
question was: why is the relative path not working on the internet explorer
V5 for Mac????

Thank you.

Are you sure it is that the files are not getting loaded?

Perhaps IE Mac does not understand your CSS or your javascript. Perhaps
you accidentally left javascript off or something.

I don't have a Mac, so I can't help you much further. You _could_ try
putting in a simple document.write line in the javascript to see whether
the problem lies in the loading of the file, and you could do an
analogous test with CSS.

Dear Sam

Yes, I am pretty sure. I was working on the following site:
www.searchworks.co.nz and the i used the standard setup:

html in the root directory, one folder (s) with the stylesheets and one
folder (j) with the javascript

Now, anyway, I was using the standard s/s.css link, but this did not work (I
am sure of it, because the whole page was screwed up). then I replaced the
link with ../s/s.css. Obviously, this does not work locally, but it sure
worked on the server the "s" folder being in the root directory.

Thank you for your help Sam.

They're both relative paths. An absolute path would be
<script src="http://somedomain.com/j/j.js" ...

Do you know the answer to my question? Why is this path j/j.js not working
in Internet Explorer 5 for Mac, but /j/j.js is working?????? I have so many
responses, but no-one who actually addresses the question.

hi folks

this extra / is purely superstitious. I am writing plain html. I always
write <BR />, because I try to close all tags. So, for example, I do not
write <A HREF=..... />, but instead, I write <A HREF=......>....</A

Anyway, does anyone know the answer to my question?

Thank you

Nicolaas

The extra / should ONLY be used in XHTML. If you add it in an HTML

document, you are actually making to document invalid, and it will

cause browser like Internet Explorer to render the page in "Quirks mode"

(the resulting page will be randomly wrong).

<br /> is not valid HTML, so you are actually writing tag-soup, not
HTML. It IS valid XHTML though.

And back to your question. Not possible to anwser without seeing the
page ON a server.
