relative paths for iframes
Dave Parker
I have this that works fine:
<html>
<iframe src="file:file://C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Clinic Website file
\CCNewsletterTW\Newsletter 2007 NovemberB.htm"
style="background:#fff;width:170%;height:400px">
</iframe>
</html>
but I want it to work with a relative path so I can use it on my
website server
I've tried"../" and "%CD%" but they don't seem to work (or maybe I'm
just doing it wrong)
Anyone have any ideas?

Relative paths work just fine for me.
Might be the a malformed path; in your example, you have
file:file://C:\Users\...
but it should be
file:///C:/Users/...
(The backslashes are probably not an issue, but the double "file:"
protocol at the beginning most likely is.)
For relative paths, you need to leave out the protocol:
src="../foo.html"
This selects "foo.html" from the respective parent folder.
I've created a very brief overview here:
http://www.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Relative_Paths
Feel free to add whatever you think might be relevant there.

name itself (I don't know why I didn't think of that myself - I guess
I just assumed it couldn't be that simple)
Here's the fruit of your help: http://cedar-chiropractic.com/#Newsletters
(Just click on one of the date links to get the newsletter)
That does, however bring up another (non-TW) question:
Does anyone know a way to upload multiple files to an ftp server (I
think that's what its called) - I use Telus and they seem to only
allow one file at a time, and as you see on the link above, none of
the pictures are there because each newsletter has multiple image
files associated with it (and I haven't uploaded them all yet). I did
a search last night for +"upload multiple files" +ftp+ telus and
didn't find anything useful
Thanks again,

Well, that shouldn't be a problem; pretty much every FTP client (and
server) I know can do this without a problem - though it is possible
that Telus (whatever they are) has imposed some restriction.
Try using Internet Explorer's built-in FTP client; enter the FTP address
(e.g. "ftp://foo.bar") into the address/location bar, and a login dialog
will pop up.
After entering your username and password, you should be able to use the
FTP server almost like any other folder on your hard drive - e.g. you
can drag & drop files there.
