texte = Almost anything to do with directories will depend on the OS of your server.Though standard HTML works like so:/siteroot /siteroot/folder1 /siteroot/folder2so if you wanted an image from FOLDER2 to so in an HTML doc in that is in FOLDER1 you could do:
or
note: ./ same directory ../ up one directory ../../ up two and so on.Now lets say you want an image from another site that is on the same server./websites/site1/images/ /websites/site2/images/the problem comes in that site1 should not see site2. Meaning that if you went / you would only get to site1 folder or site2 not the /websites.On both Win2k and Linux we simply established a link to the images directory.This would basically put a short cut from one site to the other only on the directory in which you made the link. Allowing you to drop images into the site1 image directory and them be available to site2.Hope this helped. I am not sure what you wanted. If I way off sorry for the intrusion.Ron----- Original Message ----- From: Marc Kaiwi
