This is a *BLOCKING ISSUE* for me: I want to use fancybox in different
pages, at different directory levels. Of course I want to have a
single copy of fancybox installed, so I would like to refer its images
either relative to the fancybox installation (ie relative to the CSS
or JS files), or with an absolute path. But I work on different web
sites, and the root directory for static resources is different on
each of these sites. Furthermore, this root is different on
development and production servers. I'm doing the dev, but I don't
control production servers: I can't even know "a priori" the absolute
path on them...

As I understand it, there are 4 alternatives to solve the
AlphaImageLoader.src path issue:

1. put fancybox images within the directory (or directory tree) of
each HTML page that uses it. But there are many (actually ALL pages!),
and this is very intrusive: I'll have fancybox files copied (or
linked) many times. This is both cumbersome to install and update.

2. edit css to replace the relative path by absolute image path. But
this path will be different for all my different servers, and also for
dev and prod modes... And I don't know (and don't want to care about)
the absolute path on production servers.

3. URL rewriting in .htaccess. I did not experience this method
mentionned by Roman, but I think it has the same defects as solution
2, plus it is "apache" specific.

4. Javascript in CSS: I've seen http://drupal.org/node/185866 but
still did not experience it. It seems possible to provide
programatically (in javascript) the URL. This sounds interesting, and
could probably be included in fancybox itself: the path to look these
images into could be relative ("fancybox/" as it is today) by default,
but could be overridden with a configuration dependent path prefix
(usually an absolute one), which could itself by computed by another
mean (not a fancybox matter).

Does anyone have another solution to propose? Has anyone experimented
solution 4? Would fancybox team consider doing it?

Thanks for this nice library anyway
