how do link structures work in sub-sections?
i’m using a script for my contact form to make it look prettier. but in the CSS file the person has coded it as url(image.gif), as well as the javascript file. so when the page executes, it ends up looking for site.com/contact/image.gif
you can make a folder called /contact in your ftp, but that will ruin the contact page altogether.

Stick the images in a directory such as /ui/ on your server (the name should not conflict with a section), then change the css url statements to match this, e.g. url(/ui/image.gif); (with preceding slash denoting an absolute path from the html root).

Why not put the images in your images folder?
Then change the css to url(/images/shadowLowerRight.gif)

i’ve tried that(you guys are fast btw!), and then what it now does is /site.com/contact/images/shadowlowerright.gif

With a preceding slash in your url statement that should work but it looks like the prettyForms.js also sets the images in the javascript too (see variables at the top) so you may need to change it there too :-)

yeah i changed it in the js file as well.
i only know where the images ended up because in Google Chrome it shows you the broken image, and right clicked it to find out more.

Did it not work then?

just fyi: Firebug’s (firefox plugin) network pane or Safari’s developer tools can also show you what it is not able to load and where it is trying to find them.

Can you post a URL or your modified JS? It’s hard to debug in the dark.

js/ => /js/ for an absolute path.

didn’t see an html page in your links so couldn’t really get to the bottom of it. I did notice however that in your js you have /urbanscav/js/... and in your css you have /js/... which are different locations.
