RE: Directory heirarchy when using Shunts & Modes

I tried the code below. I can see the images at runtime, but not during design
time. If I change the paths to see it at design time, then I can't see the
images during runtime.

<head>
  <title>Test Page</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> 
  <link href="en/includes/screen_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="screen"/>
  <link href="en/includes/print_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="print"/>
</head>
...
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="box1">
  <tr> 
    <td width="30" nowrap><a href="http://www.lds.org" target="_top"><img
src="en/images/nav-small_christus.gif" alt="The  Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints" border="0" width="30" height="20"></a></td>
    <td width="100%" nowrap><a class="anchorHeader" href="http://www.lds.org"
title="The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" target="_top">The Church
of <nobr>Jesus Christ</nobr> of <nobr>Latter-day</nobr> Saints</a></td>
    <td align="right"><img border="0" src="en/images/spacer.gif" width="8"
height="20"></td>
    <td align="right" nowrap valign="middle"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Should I be using a transform to change the relative paths that Dreamweaver
needs at design time to full paths that the browser needs at runtime? Maybe this
is overkill, but I could use an XSLT to modify my Maverick.xml to include a
default transform for all views that have *.vm files. This transform would
change all the paths in the *.vm file to full paths.

Please tell me that there's a better (and easier) way! :-)

Thanks,
Scott

Can you show an example of your vm files?  I'm taking a wild guess at
what you're trying to do here.

Server-side includes will work with relative paths, however client-side
includes won't.  If you have a command "something.m" which includes a
snippet of HTML like this:

<img src="images/foo.gif"/>

Then the browser is going to try to load the file "/include/foo.gif" -
it has no idea how things are really structured on the backend.  Your
Japanese vm file needs to have a full path:

<img src="jp/images/foo.gif"/>

Does that explain the problem you're having?
