I suspect it is a problem related to being client-side. Server-side scripts have a present working directory to use, client side scripts must obtain this information for themselves. The location can describe this - you could use the hostname to dictate which hardlink to use and this will get you around the offline problem. Alternatively, are symlinks possible? (After all, this is the local system and other scripts etc. are going to have similar problems unless the path structure is the same as the live site. I use symlinks for various websites.) For a definite answer, send me the full Javascript by email and I'll take another (deeper) look. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/
