Popup Menu in PHP

[wispsofsmoke]

I've created Popup menus that work fine in HTML pages (www.anakhacoman.com), but for some reason these same menus aren't working on a PHP page (www.anakhacoman.com/blog)

Any help appreciated - thanks!

The problem is here:



<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>


You're using that same code on both pages, but on the blog page, you've gone down one directory, so you need to change the "src" attribute to either:



<script language="JavaScript" src="../mm_menu.js"></script>


or



<script language="JavaScript" src="/mm_menu.js"></script>


The second option may be preferred, as it will always start you at the root directory, so it doesn't matter how many directories down you are.

Hi Schmoopy - does the single "/" start you from the root on all systems?

No - the .../ goes down one directory. I'm pretty sure that just the / does nothing.

So, if in doubt, its probably safest to use an absolute path or something like href="<?php 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']?>/path/to/js/script.js" in the case of an application where you dont know the domain. (I think)

What do you mean? If I had a script file in /scripts/blah.js, and I was running an html file in files/blah.html, to link from files/blah.html, I would do: ../scripts/blah.js which would go up one level the parent directory, and then find the folder scripts.

No - the .../ goes down one directory. I'm pretty sure that just the / does nothing.

/ Does not do nothing, having just tested it, it definitely goes to the root directory. True, it may be just as easy to use:



$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];


But / will do the job.

Thanks - it's working now!

Amazing how sometimes it comes down to something so simple . . .

:D Proven wrong.
