Hello all.. I'm working on an application that I'd like to use some shared
files.
Right now my directory structure is:
/ (root)
.../Shared/
.../Reports/
.../Tools/
I would like to have CSS, shared functions etc.. in the shared folder and
use them in the root, reports and tools.
So.. in my dev environment I don't have a problem, but I have a remote
developer that wants to install in a subdirectory.. so all my includes don't
work..
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="shared/Common.asp"-->
should I change to virtual? I'm stuck on how to make this work in both
installing in a root web situation, and a sub directory situation.
Thoughts?

Use absolute paths for common elements (includes, stylesheets, etc.) than
relative paths. Takes care of many problems than you know :)

FWIW, I *always* include this way. I never use FILE...

Do you mean <!--#include file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\shared\common.css"-->
?
If so, I can think of at least one problems with this, and that is that your
web host might change the location of the webroot, or create virtual
directories to some or all of your files.
If you have a sane directory structure, referencing virtual from the root
should work perfectly, and isn't vulnerable to changes to the actual file
system.

Well.. that's part of my problem I suppose.. I don't know what the absolute
path will be if the end user decides to install it in a subdirectory instead
of it's own virtual web.

The problem with relative paths is, the files could move from one directory
to another, and you need to change them unnecessarily.

If that's the case, you are better off with a relative path. Actually,
unless you don't move your files around that much, you shouldn't have a
problem.
e.g.
<!--#include virtual="../common/include.asp"-->

Okay, I was confused because that is not an "absolute" path... what you're
demonstrating is, actually, a relative path.

I think it is the semantics... the /common/includes is an absolute path
although the domain has been left off. But one can argue it is relative to
the root.

No, it's a relative path. Absolute paths are specified absolutely.
:)

I did specify is absolutely, it is not relative to anything.
If I specified it as ../common/includes.asp, then it would be relative, cos
it can only work with files that are in a certain folder. http://webdesign.about.com/library/weekly/aa040502a.htm

Yes, / is relative to the root. Absolute means "FULL PATH"

At best, it is relative to the domain (say www.something.com). It is not
relative to the root, since you mention the root in the path.

/folder/file.asp is relative to the root
.../folder/file.asp is relative to the current folder
Absolute would say http://www.something.com/folder/file.asp or
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\folder\file.css
But I don't feel like arguing anymore, so you win, if you want.
