Then the path to that menu option will look like 

	code/asp/calendar/weekly/code/js/default.asp

... and that's probably not what you want :-)

If you want to use the same menu code in every page, regardless of
its location in your directory structure, you should make the paths
absolute: /code/js/default.asp

It's no different than any other reference to any external object 
(images, links) - all are interpreted relative to the page they're
contained in *unless* they start with a "/".

Hope that clarifies ...
