Hi

i have a page hmenu.htm that acts like a menu bar; containing links to
other pages on my site ie:
<a href="../CMS/sysReq.htm">
<a href="../index.php"> etc

I am includeing this in all of the pages on my site using:
<?php include("includepages/hmenu.htm"); ?>

The pages that use the include are in various levels up to about 4
subdirectories deep.

However, my problem is that as the links are relative, on many of the
pages showing the included file, the links dont work as I am not going
far enough back up the path structure. ie ../index.php on some pages
needs to be ../../index.php etc.

Looking on the net I found suggestions that I might have a hmenu.htm
for each folder level, but that seems to negate the advantage of using
include!

I ahve also found suggestions that I need to put absolute links in ie
www.mydomain.com/index.php. Is that the only way?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
