In reply to Josh Fraser. I assumed you meant that because you used "index.php" files in your example. So is there a solution for php code?

In reply to fractalbit. The only time you need to use the /home/account_name/... part is if you are accessing a file on the server side. The way to set that path depends on the server-side language you are using. You wouldn't use that for front-facing code.

Hi Josh, i have a question about root relative urls. In my account if i want to use them, i have to specify them like that:
/home/account_name/public_html/forum/folder1/folder2/file.php
Is it possible to specify without the '/home/account_name/public_html' part? Is there a configuration i can do so that the root is consider the public_html? .htaccess probably?
