Thanks Tom
and sorry I didn't mention it properly at first,,
I was trying to analyse the problem.
is it becuz the first part of the referenece being the ../
in <body background="../www/img/background.jpg">
the ../ wants to take the browser into illegal territory above the root?
because we are starting from /htdocs/util so the ../ would try to go back
to /htdocs
which is above the root (/htdocs/www) illegal territory.
just tryin to understand it
thanks ,
Ken
