I have a question on files if someone would take a moment to explain how this works.
When VSD creates the index.html on saving a vsd project Is the Index file the same as to one uploaded to the server? The reason I curious is if the index file that is saved on the local computer has a file ref for a local drive, say e:\mypic.jpg does the upload change this jpg to a file relative to the index on the server?
I saw a line of code in the index that looked something like file\\\| E:\mypic.jpg or does the file with "\\\ " do this. Trying to learn how these files are associated.

Question on the index.html file -...
Hi Wyndham,
everything you do on your computer in VSD is going to be relative the the website folder, images are going to be linked to let's say My Documents\My Pictures\yourpic.jpg for example but also this image will be in the files folder as well, but it's listing where YOU got the image from, if you were to move that image VSD would know it and send up a red flag (pop window)saying it cannot locate said file.. so when uploaded it now goes to the files folder for your images, offline your hard drive wow don't know if I even explained that right lol, Ever notice on your server you have db.vsd_websitename-v6.php well that shows you where you got your images, your flash, so if you ever crash your hard drive VSD remembers where you got your stuff and combined with the VSD temp folder you can't lose. Example:

does this make sense?
Yea, that makes sense. If i understand what you just said is that there is a part of VSD that on the up load knows where all parts are and gets them and makes an appropriate folder for each on the server.
Thanks, this makes looking at the local "Index.HTML" not as confusing. Wyndham
