ssi within template

I think I saw something on this subject before but now can't found it.
Apology if this question has been asked before.

We have some ssi in the LIBRARY folder just one level down from the
root. These ssis' have been incorporated into different templates like:

<!--#include virtual="/Library/myinclude.htm" -->

Within myinclude.htm are some links to some other internal web pages.
Relative pathes are used.

I found that pages located in folders on the same level as the Library
folder working fine. However; those locate on lower level (i.e.
root/folder1/folder1a/abc.asp) are composing the links from
myinclude.htm wrong. For example a page locates in the root level will
have the link composed as http://www.mysite.com/folder1/xyz.asp instead
the correct one http://www.mysite.com/xyz.asp

Is there anyway around this? Should I place the include file within the
editable region of the template and manually edit the include file path?
or should I put absoluate pathes for the links within the include file
myinclude.htm?

thanks,

Relative to what - root or document? You must use root relative links in
your includes.

First, please tell me why you are using Library items at all.

Then show me the code in a Library item.

By the way, attachments are discouraged for this and other Macromedia
forums, and to make matters worse, they do not carry forward from the
webforums into the NNTP forums, which is where most of the people who post
answers are visiting. If you want to broadcast your code so that everyone
can see it, the only real way is a) to paste it into a reply (not great if
there is lots of code), or b) to upload it somewhere and post a URI to it.

Be aware that if you paste voluminous quantities of code into a reply, the
code may get truncated when transferring to the NNTP forum. This can be
quite confusing to both poster, and reader. The best bet would be to upload
the page and post a URI.

Have tried both.

Example codes:
<!-- MAINFOOTER INCLUDE -->
<table width="98%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
id="tblFooter">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="footer"><br />
Copyright &copy; 2004 Company Name, <a
href="http://www.xxx.com/">Stockton </a>— San Francisco
—<a href="http://www.yyy.com/"> Sacramento</a>, California. <br />
All rights reserved | <a href="legal.htm">Legal Notice</a> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- MAINFOOTER INCLUDE END -->

Legal.htm resides in the root dir. The footer file is in the
root/library folder.

1) Tried <a href="legal.htm">
--if a page containing the include file is located at root/folder1, the
link becomes http://www.mysite.com/folder1/legal.htm
--if a page containing the include file is located at
root/folder1/folder1a, the link becomes
http://www.mysite.com/folder1/folder1a/legal.htm

2) Tried <a href="../legal.htm">
--if a page containing the include file is located at root/folder1, the
link becomes http://www.mysite.com/legal.htm; the only instance it is
correct
--if a page containing the include file is located at
root/folder1/folder1a, the link becomes
http://www.mysite.com/folder1/legal.htm

Create a new file. Insert an image in this file. Don't save the file, but
copy the code and paste it into a reply, please.

Don't understand. I COPY AND PASTE 9 lines of code into the reply!!!!
I'm using Netscape 7.1 to view the forum. Is it sending something weird???

I don't know how you view the posts at your end, but every one of my
posts displayed clearly and not a single alphabet is truncated (in
Netscape). I never sent any attachment.

Use <a href="/library/legal.htm"

I may have been in too big a hurry. Based on the description:

Legal.htm resides in the root dir. The footer file is in the
root/library folder.

1) Tried <a href="legal.htm"

I now think I was wrong and that it should be:

<a href="/legal.htm">

However, having the "footer file" in the "root/library" folder could
also be the cause of some other problems.


Gary

Yeah - the whole design of the pages and the sites has me confused, frankly.
