links broken in included footer file?

[Anon]

I have a ***.php file,

<?php
require (\\"glb_foot.html\\");
?>

i used this code to require the global footer , in IE it works fine but in netscape it does not find the links,

<a href=\\"privacy.html\\">PRIVACY POLICY
links are relative in the glb_foot,html document. if i set them to www.****.com/privacy they dont work in IE
any ideas?
thanks in advance

have you set
them
to

http://www.***.com/privacy

otherwise the browser will think that your after the
www.***.com directory which does really exist

hope this helps , stef

Stef,
in IE if the link is
a href="privacy.html"
it works and breaks in netscape

if i set the link to
a href="www.anysite.com/privacy
it works in netscape and not IE

does this explain it properly?
thanks in advance

1. What if you are in a subdirectory? do you have privacy.html in each sub dir then? (If yes, ugh...)

2. in php.ini, you can set it so that this file is automatically appended to every file.

3. When you say "breaks", what exaclty do you mean? Not found, doesn't display, etc...
