Re: Parent Path issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I use FP code/html view to edit ASP code. Provided the code is well
written there should not be any problems. If you have doubts, make a
backup first.

Well written code does NOT do things like:

Open a table in HTML and close it in ASP code.
Open a table in ASP code and close it HTML

In both the above, and similar open-close tag scenarios, FP will
change the code to correct the HTML.

Ron,

Thanks for your reply. These are asp pages. However, if I open
them in
Frontpage and select the HTML tab to fix the code, am I going to
mess
something up? Should I just edit them in Notepad instead?

Thanks!
Jay

The parent paths issue normally only affects paths that are written
in
asp code or in asp/ssi includes
<!-- #include file="../inc/foo.asp" --> will have to be re-written
as
<!-- #include virtual="/inc/foo.asp" -->

and <% response.write("<img src=""../images/image.jpg"">) %>
will become <% response.write("<img src=""/images/image.jpg"">)
%>

but relative paths in HTML will not be affected:
<p><img src="../images/image.jpg"></p> should be OK as it is.

Note that all the FrontPage database wizards use relative paths -
which can be a pain in these circumstances.

In regards to my last question, here is a more specific question.
Our
hosting company upgraded their servers from Windows Server 2000
to
2003. One
of the major effects it had on our site was we lost functionality
of
a search
engine that searched our product inventory. I have found out
that
the
problem is with the way FP wrote paths in the code, using
"../Images/image1.jpg" instead of "root/Images/image1/jpg". This
was fully
acceptable with Server 2000, but apparently not with 2003. Our
hosting
company will not enable the Parent Path option for us, so I am
left
to go in
and manually correct the code. My question is this... If the
Image
folder
being referenced is in the root directory (where the webpages are
saved), do
I need to have the root directory in the path, or can I just use
"/Images/image1.jpg" as the path? Or should I just use the exact
url of the
image? By the way, the website is www.greenchiponline.com.

Thanks
Jay Pelham
