copied!<p>so: I've read 8+ stackover flows on relative to absolute. A few sites and went to MS page on this... </p> <p>however when I've tried and had not success. Then I researched more and wonder solutions I read about are not part of .asp and just asp.net? (yup, I'm a novice / newbie / ignorant)</p> <p>The situation and my aspiration:</p> <p>I have a site that was initial just a few products and pages of text / images(~10), the number of products has doubled and I want to migrate to a tree structure for SEO / personal sanity / organization.</p> <p>The original builder of site used This was great on single layer set up, as it is now. </p> <p>i.e. <code>example.com/page1.asp</code></p> <p>Now I'm putting reviews (lengthy multiple page product reports), adding multiple products, etc on different depths in a tree. So while I can accurately connect to a relative include on </p> <pre><code>example.com/products/super-widgets/widget/reviews/index.asp  </code></pre> <p>the sources inside the include break on as they are relative. </p> <p>As I have attempted to research, stated above, I have tried to find a "best practice" for converting the relative to absolute for the information in the /inc-footer.asp file. I have consider putting an absolute path for agent to get global images </p> <p><code><img src="http://example.com/images/ex1.png"></code>. </p> <p>However I believe some say this is a poor choice for coding, I think it is because of speed of experience of clients / web visitors, but I don't know this.</p> <p>So I have attempted a few trials and errors based on my earlier research with no avail....</p> <p>inside the include file.asp I have (and failed to succeed with):</p> <p>from this sites examples (<a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/fmarguerie/archive/2004/05/05/avoiding-problems-with-relative-and-absolute-urls-in-asp-net.aspx" rel="nofollow">link</a>) I tried: </p> <pre><code><img runat="server" src="~/images/tab-leftside.png" class="tab-img" width="22" height="20" /><a href="javascript:switchid('tab2');" onfocus="this.blur()" >Page 2</a><img src="" /> </code></pre> <p>and from MS (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178116.aspx" rel="nofollow">link</a>) I tried:</p> <pre><code><asp:image runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/tab-rightside.png" alt="design object" width="21" height="20" class="tab-img" /> <a href="javascript:switchid('tab1');" onfocus="this.blur()" >Page 1</a> <img src="" /> </code></pre> <p>while writing this I referenced some of recommendations and tried & failed with ( link )</p> <pre><code><img src="<%= VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/images/tab-rightside.png") %>" class="tab-img" width="22" height="20" /><a href="javascript:switchid('tab2');" onfocus="this.blur()" >Page 2</a><img src="" /> </code></pre> <p>Then I thought I need to modify above example and tried</p> <pre><code><img src="<%= VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/images/") %>tab-rightside.png" class="tab-img" width="22" height="20" /><a href="javascript:switchid('tab2');" onfocus="this.blur()" >Page 2</a><img src="" /> </code></pre> <p>Again with cross reference in writing this (link), I considered a but the include file has no </p> <p>Only success I have had success with absolute path to http://</p> <pre><code><img src="http://example.com/images/tab-leftside.png" class="tab-img" width="22" height="20" /><a href="javascript:switchid('tab2');" onfocus="this.blur()" >Page 2</a><img src="" /> </code></pre> <p>Presently, the site is hosted on Windows Server 2003 Microsoft-IIS/6.0</p> <p>All of the page files are .asp</p> <p>I use Google chrome to define success in testing above examples. As I experience if it doesn't' work in chrome it's not worth testing in other browsers.</p> <p>Thanks. Casey Burnett</p>
