Syntax for opening an image in PHP
I'm trying to display a gif for a menu. This is the same type of problem that I had with the new server. This code worked on the old one.
<a href="./index.php" class="nof-navButtonAnchor
If I copy the file "Menu_Hhilghted_1.gif" to the root and mod the code to rellect that it works.
The directory structure is:
Lansco
-->Autogen
<a href="./index.php" class="nof-navButtonAnchor

where in the directory structure is placed the (php/html) file that contains that html code ? Maybe src="./Autogen/Menu_Hhighl
If I was me, I'd do it this way. The single '/' indicates that the file and directory are relative to the root. I figure if I have to use all those dots, I'm doing something wrong.
<a href="/index.php" class="nof-navButtonAnchor"><img id="NavigationButton1" name="NavigationButton1" height="21" width="137" src="/Autogen/Menu_Hhighlighted_1.gif" border="0" alt="Menu" title="Menu"/></a>ASKER
That was it. The last site had a root where the subdirectory was. I have to clean up this code.

This hint can make your life easier :-)
You can use a slash as the first character of the link, and it will be resolved relative to the web root of the host. So if you know your directory structure that might be an easy way to find the image.
Looks like a different directory structure from the old server. One way to fix this problem is to use fully qualified absolute URLs. They don't break. Another is to analyze the new directory structure, find out where image resources are located (relative to the URL of the document that is having the problem) and write a relative link that works for the new directory structure.
