Web Weenie Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have a directory for all my external javascripts and call it js. This directory resides on the same level as all my main html (home). I also have a directory of html pages that are meant to insert into an iframe called inventory. This directory also resides in the home level. These pages need to access a js script that is in my js directory. if I place the js inside my inventory directory - it works and I use this;<script type="text/javascript" src="dltable.js">I expected one of these to work when the script is in my js directory - no workie!<script type="text/javascript" src="..js/dltable.js"><script type="text/javascript" src="../js/dltable.js">Can someone please explain how to properly access a file that resides in a different directory. I guess this is another thing for my things I thought I knew, list!Do I need a preceding slash or something?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It depends on what your file structure looks like."../" moves up one directory. If you're in the "html/" directory and on the same level is a "scripts/" directory, you have to write "../scripts/" to access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This should work if the file structure is as you described:<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/dltable.js"></script>If it's not working then one of the files might not be where you think they are.

Yes, it is working...I was testing locally on my desktop and I guess there is a problem doing this like that. Once I uploaded the js file and the page that calls it, it worked fine. There's a few hours I'll never get back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
