I'm sure that my question was asked before. But Google didn't deliver me a
sufficient answer.

If I use
path = fso.getabsolutepathname(".")
in a vbscript in a HTA-file it just gives me the path of the directory from
which the script has been started. That is what I was looking for. But...

The same command in the same file, but with a HTM extention, gives me the
path to the desktop or in a network of my root home directory.

Because I'm looking for the same result that the HTA gives me but then in a
HTM-file, I'm wondering if it possible to get the pathname of the directory
the script was started from. The reason is that I need the HTM in an active
desktop application or as a home-page in an Outlook folderlist-folder.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Hans Stavleu

You may use document.location (document.location.href,
document.location.pathname etc.)

Thanks Viatcheslav,
I will try that. Didn't think of that myself.
