Re: Problem with file path...
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? CFINCLUDE or other CFML tags don't know anything about IIS or virtual directories. Virtual directories are only used to respond to HTTP requests from the client.

Problem with file path...
Hi, all. 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!

RE: Problem with file path...
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.

RE: Problem with file path...
No problem, except I should have said from the current directory.
