FP2003 - truncated image source paths??

[Pheasant Plucker®]

Hi there,

This is driving me mad...:-/

I have a simple index.html that contains references to 3 .png images that
'live outside' the web folder.

I would like to copy these .png files into \images but can't find where they
are!

In the code within FP the path is truncated like this;

background="../home/images/i_Qlogo_r.png">

so all it gives me is the path from /home/ onwards.

How on earth do I find out where the original image lives please?

The original images live on a HP Mediasmart Windows Home Server and I can't
for the life of me find a Search function there (apart from Windows Desktop
Search which only seems to find the same 46 .png files in Outlook 2003
despite me trying to get it to search everywhere)

I realise it must be me as millions of others can't be wrong but why is it
so difficult to carry out a simple task?

Here was me thinking computers were supposed to make things easy...;^)

Well, let's see if I can get this right

.../ means back one level.

So if the file you are starting from is (say)
myweb/fred/index.html
then back one level is myweb/

So the file "../home/images/i_Qlogo_r.png" is
"myweb/home/images/i_Qlogo_r.png"

If index.html is already "myweb/home/index.html", then the path
"../home/images/i_Qlogo_r.png" could just as well be "images/i_Qlogo_r.png"

And yes, computers don't always make things easy/easier. I have been doing
this for years and I still don't know if what I wrote is correct !!

Well I can't fault your logic Trevor!

If only it were that simple...
