I just installed XAMPP to test my site offline. But, I just noticed that absolute path is not working.

Example : I want to call a spacer.gif from the images folder, so the path would be "/images/spacer.gif" but its not working. However, using relative path "images/spacer.gif" works...

I would like to know is there anyway to enable the absolute path?

What's the full file system path for spacer.gif, and how exactly are you referencing it in HTML?

The full system path would be D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\images\spacer.gif and I'm referring it using <img src="/images/spacer.gif" />

it should already be enabled it works fine on my system when i do that.

on my machine that image with /images/spacer.gif
would draw from here
http://localhost/images/spacer.gif

o, i think i know the problem,

r u typing localhost in the browser address bar or are u just opening the page by doouble clicking the page in the htdocs folder?

Problem solved...

It seems that I forgot to setup a virtualhost to call the file..

Thanks for the help anyway
