linking to javascript

[Simon TL]

Hi

In my DW-built external design (in D:/Web/xyz/) I have:

<script src="includes/cssmenus2/js/cssmenus.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="includes/cssmenus2/js/animation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have put these folders in Site1 but the previewed pages end up with:

<script src="file:///D:/Web/xyz/includes/cssmenus2/js/cssmenus.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///D:/Web/xyz/includes/cssmenus2/js/animation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Actinic is happily pointing to css files, and I have made sure the includes folder is in PreviewHTML.

Any clues, please?

Either

Use full src="http://www.mysite.com/includes/cssmenus2/js/cssmenus.js" type URL's (which won't work on the Preview).

Or (much cleaner)

Keep these files in Site1 and use

src="cssmenus.js"

Actinic puts all files involved in the site into the single acatalog directory on yuour server. It doesn't expect any files to be in sub-directories.

Thanks.

What a lot of clutter a single folder will have! (In the same vein, I don't like having 'work' files in the Programs folder - it's like sticking cheese in the cutlery drawer; easy when you want to cut some cheese, but tends to make the spoons stink.)

Yep. You do get a pretty big acatalog directory on the server.

It's only "system" type files that need to be in Site1.

For images it may be tidyer to keep them in a sub-folder of Site1 (images say).

This isn't as clean as keeping them on a separate data drive but has the major simplicity of having everything involved in a site inside the Site folder, making it very easy to back-up the entire site.
