Calling HD subdirectories in the aI line?

Post by BW »

Hi

No url yet to share - still trying to get it ready to publish :? ...

Simple questions for the calibre of folks out there.... I want to call a file in a subdir on my HD. Thereby, I can inspect slink and stuff before publishing. How can I make the menu access the HD files with the aI line?

This:
aI("text=WebSmith;url=http://www.softidiom.com/;");
obviously calls up a page from the web.

If I want to call pages from my own HD what does the syntax look like?

This:
aI("text=Weekend in Ulm;url=/www/fun/2003/ulm.html;");
is not working for me. FYI, the root dir is directly "above" /www/ e.g. d:/www/.... but the menu_data.js file in a separate subdir 2-3 levels "below" the /www/ directory.

BTW, before publishing the site I plan to use the find/replace tool to insert all the necessary http://... stuff in the aI line that will be necessary for the published version.

Thanks!

WORKS! Thanks!

Works. Don't know why, and probably shouldn't give it one more second of thought - never touch a running system?!?

Nice catch on that one John. You own any windoze (as you say) machines at home? What do you run at home?

Thanks, Dave.

I have Win2K at home on a dual-boot with Linux 8. However, I no longer run Win there so that machine is all Linux. Mac side is a dual-G4 tower running OS X 10.2.8 and a very old PowerBook 1400C with OS 9.1 (that's the only way I can check on Maz!).

Stuck with XP Pro at work 10+ hours a day, and enough is enough :!:

Just went to your site and saw your face (now I can put a real mug to you and Andy). Pretty close to your avatar ;)

Sent 2 of me yesterday to you guys, but Cox is screwing up both home and the campus again (still). Did you get them?

Yeah your email seems funny. I received an email from you last night at about 12AM my time that was dated from Monday! Weird. But yes I did receive an email from you but it only had one picture in it, the subject was "Me".

I agree, putting a mug with the person helps. Yeah I tried to get an avatar that had spiky blonde hair. I got it off some website of avatars a while back. If I remember correctly, I believe it was on a Capri Sun juice pouch a couple years back, but I am not certain. But it worked for me.

The "Me" was really - me. I'd sent one earlier (might have been the Monday one) that was my wolf in a nose-to-nose shot. So much for tryin' to be funny!

Cox is really messing things up. Too bad they don't have any competition around here. Now where'd I put that C4...

Just sent you an e-mail for consideration.

Resend it, I'd love to see your wolf. We have adelphia over here for our ISP. Considering that have been looking horrible in the spotlight, their service has been pretty good now that I think of it. But they also have no competition, so if they sucked, it would be dial up or nothin'.

I responded to your mail. Naw thanks. ;)

Given the way Cox has been with mail, try http://tiggrsuccess.com/shadow/ instead.

Thanks, Maz. He's pretty cool. Probably the best 'dog' I've ever had, although he does have his moments...
