I have a web project that has multiple directories.  Some of the files in
different directories use the same include files.  The problem is that these
include files also reference an image folder.  I am trying to create an
absolute reference to these images so I don't have to make the same include
for different directories.  What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.

Just define them absolute absolutely:

<img src="/mydir/mydirToo/myimg.jpg">

You mean ".. different includes for different ..." , I suppose?

<image src="/images/yourimage.gif">

"/..." always relates to the root.

/images does not work.  Any ideas why?

Thanks.

Hi Rob...

It would be helpful to know what your subdirectory names are but as an
example, here is what I do.

I create a config.asp file.  This is where I put customized variables.
I also create a common.asp file and a header.asp file.
In the common.asp, I put common subs/functions that I use throughout my
site.
In header.asp is where I put the header I use on each page and I link in my
common.asp which links in my config.asp.

' o--> config.asp <--o
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True

Const imgPath = "/images/"
..
..
..
%>

' o--> common.asp <--o
<!--#include virtual="/asp/config.asp"-->
<%
sub prt(str)
  Response.Write str & vbCrLf
end sub

sub lprt(str)
  Response.Write str & "<br />" & vbCrLf
end sub

function someFunction(someValue)
..
..
end function
..
..
%>

' o--> header.asp <--o
<!--#include virtual="/asp/common.asp"-->
<%
..
..
..
%>

' o--> All other pages <--o
<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
%>
<!--#include virtual="/asp/header.asp"-->
<%
..
..

prt "<div><span><img id=""img1"" class=""blockImages"" src=""" & imgPath &
"myimage.jpg"" /></span></div>"


%>
