Rick, That is correct behaviour, and you need to think that this is looking for a file in the current directory. If the current directory is not your virtual directory then it is not going to find the file.
The link is relative to the browsers path, cfinclude is relative to the current physical directory.

Ok, I've got a folder set up under my webroot named "hphomes". I've got another folder under my webroot named "real_estate_common". In IIS, I've created a virtual directory in the hphomes directory called "real_estate_common". I thought that all paths created for any file inside the virtual directory would be created as though the virtual directory were actually inside the webroot, "hphomes"... However, this works: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../css/hphGlobal.css"> But, this does not: <cfinclude template = "../css/conditionalCSSChrome.cfm"> Are relative paths treated different for an include as opposed to a css link? Both "hphGlobal.css" and "conditionalCSSChrome.cfm" are in the same physical directory. Both are being referenced from a file inside the virtual directory. However, "hphGlobal.css" is being found, but "conditionalCSChrome.cfm" is not being found. I have to use <cfinclude template = "../hphomes/css/conditionalCSSChrome.cfm"> or <cfinclude template = "/hphomes/css/conditionalCSSChrome.cfm"> to make this work. ??? Why is this happening? Thanks for any clarification!
