Is there an easier way to do Classic ASP "relative path"?
- by Alex.Piechowski
Right now, I'm having trouble.
First of all I have a page, let's call it "http://blah.com/login".
That obviously goes strait to "index.asp"
A line of Main.asp:
<!--#include file="resource/menu.asp"-->
Page top includes all of what I need for my menu... so:
Part of resource/menu.htm:
<div id="colortab" class="ddcolortabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="main.asp" title="Main" rel="dropmain"><span>Main</span></a></li>
...
</ul>
</div>
<!--Main drop down menu -->
<div id="dropmain" class="dropmenudiv_a">
<a href="main/announcements.asp">Announcements</a>
<a href="main/contacts.asp">Contact Information</a>
<a href="main/MeetingPlans.asp">Meeting Plan</a>
<a href="main/photos.asp">Photo Gallery</a>
<a href="main/events.asp">Upcoming Events</a>
</div>
Let's say I click on the "announcements" (http://blah.com/login/main/announcements.asp) link... Now I'm at the announcements page!
But wait, I include the same menu file. Guess what happens:
I get sent to "http://blah.com/login/main/main/announcements.asp
Which doesn't exist...
My solution:
Make a menu_sub.asp include for any subpages.
But wait a second... this WORKS, but it gets REALLY REALLY messy... What can I do to use just one main "menu.asp" instead of "menu_sub.asp"? using "/main/announcements.asp" WON'T be an option because this is a web application that will be on different directories per server. Any ideas? PLEASE
