Problem with including a header

[Jim Mesara]

I have the following file structure:

/
header.asp
test.asp
/subDir
testpage.asp
/images

I would like to have header.asp to be usable from all directories.
Header.asp will have images and URLs. When I try to #include the file in
test.asp, it works fine. However, if I #include it in testpage.asp, the
images in header do not work - testpage.asp thinks the images are in subDir,
when they are in the images directory. I have tried a variety of
combinations of MapPath, Server.Execute, but I have not gotten the image to
appear correctly. What is the correct syntax for what I am trying to
accomplish?

Thank you for you time,
Jim

Do virtual includes and image paths from the root in header.asp. Example:


Do NOT do:

<!-- #include file="../header.asp" -->
<img src="images/something.gif"> (in header.asp)

DO:

<!-- #include virtual="/header.asp" -->
<img src="/images/something.gif"> (in header.asp)

That way it will not matter if you're in a different directory level, since
it will all be relative from the root of your site, the include as well as
the image paths in the include file.
