[Javascript] OT: difference

[Peter Brunone]

	The only problem with that is if the server admin has disabled
the use of ".." relative path references... which is when include
virtual becomes indispensible.

To be truthful I always found virtual too confusing so I've always used
file="../images/myimage.gif"  etc  that way its also similar to other
relative references, eg in a href  's

Subject: [Javascript] OT: difference

Do you know what the difference is between using:
<!--#include virtual=""-->
and:
<!--#include file=""-->

Is the only difference that you can jump directly to the root directory
by starting off with a /?
example:  <!--#include virtual="/images/image.gif"-->
In effect making the include relative to the root directory rather than
relative to the file the include is in?
