Well, Alan, your obviously not as lazy as we thought you were.
Being lazy, I have a variable in my app_server.cfm called "request.imgroot"
with the value being "#request.webroot#/images".
and all my img tags look something like:
<img src="#request.imgroot#/myimg.jpg">
Now if I ever get to the point where I want to move my images off server to
some other box, instead of that risky global find/replace........ I just
have to change one variable.
See lazy is better, start slackin Alan!!
:)
Fred
