browser initial-dir

swimbug

Hello all,

How can I omit the beginning forward slash in <browser initial-dir="/Images">? I set initial-dir="" and initial-dir="image/" to control the slash, but the final output always include "/" in the front of the directory.

I need the file name to be images/photo/cool.jpg instead of /images/photo/cool.jpg. But, when I browse the file through the datacapture form, it automatically puts the forward slash. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Sunghee

the browser will always be relative to your WA root, and therefore put the slash in (yes, this makes links a pain). There are a couple ways around this.

Either-
create a proxy redirect so that all requests to "/images" are mapped to "images" (which I don't recommend unless you have established and tested your prod web hosting)
Or
use a regex in the PT to remove the initial "/"

Ideally your WA structure is exactly the same as your resulting web server. THis way "/" is your web root, and the links work.
