The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

asp.net/ajax: unable to locate root directory on httphandler webpage?!?

Asked by Goalie3533 in Programming for ASP.NET, Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)

Hello.

I'm using DotNetBlogEngine as my infrastructure for an asp.net blog website.  DotNetBlogEngine creates "fake" pages for all blog articles and category pages.  The problem is, when I integrate ajax into one of these "fake" httphandler pages, and then execute the ajax (a button click event in this case), I get errors related to being unable to locate the root directory....

 If you check out my site at http://97.74.54.51/default.aspx (not much to look at.  Just wanted to upload to show the error) , then click the square, blue button on the top right called "Click Here", you'll notice you can click it over and over with no problem.  The content in the blue bar successfully switches back and forth.

Now, however, if you click on the "General" link under "Categories" on the left hand side of the page, this page leads to the error I'm having.  If you click the blue square again on this General page, it works fine the 1st click however the 2nd click should return an invalid image URL when trying to display the original phone advertisement again.  Notice the URL of this page is called "category/General.aspx"?  This page doesn't actually exist.  It's a "fake" page DotNetBlogEngine creates via httphandlers.  Now, if you right click on the invalid image, the URL it displays is "category/images/templateimages/ad.jpg" .  The correct path should not have "category" in it.  

 My imagepath in my image control looks like the following:
ImageUrl="~/Images/TemplateImages/ad.jpg"

Any idea what may be causing this to not look in the root directory?

Thanks.
