[thelist] .NET HTML relative URI problem

Hi Sam,

The single dot just means "the current directory". So

	./tempcertificates/blah.gif

is the same as

	tempcertificates/blah.gif

The only time I've seen this before was ages ago when using Dreamweaver
-- for some reason it likes to put the files relating to a page into a
folder called <pagename>_file. I could be on the wrong track, but if
you're using Dreamweaver then you might want to look carefully at your
source and make sure that Dreamweaver is doing what you expect...
