Dicey results from the "More Headlines" link Can't Post
There's somehting wierd going on with my "more headlines" link. You can see it at the bottom of the page here:

http://www.orangemane.com/

The link wants to execute in the cgi-bin, so none of the formatting is right, and the images come up "red Xed".

How can I fix this so that it executes outside of the CGI bin?

Hi John.

Thanks for the post!

That link is supposed to be using the cgi-bin because it’s actually running a search to find the next batch of articles in your current category.

Now, what’s happening here is that all your image links are telling the page to find its images in the current folder. Well, the search is, of course, in a totally different folder and doesn’t have any image in it.

The solution here will be to go through your template and add a “/” to the beginning of each image like this:

<img src="/images/header/Header_01.gif" width="36" height="14">

That should get you going. Give it a shot and let me know how you make out Smile.

I don't understand... Currently, my images are sourced like this:

img src="../images/header/Header_10.gif" alt="" width="107" height="158"

Hi John,

Exactly, which is where the issue is. Try removing the .. in front. This ../ tells it to go up one directory. Having just a / tells it to go straight to the web root, which is a much safer way as it doesn't make any difference what directory the file itself is in. :)

I hope this helps. :)
