FolderWeb (Function)

In french: RépertoireWeb

Returns the relative path of the directory containing:

images,
JavaScript files,
Java applet files,
other files accessible from the browser.

This directory corresponds to the <Project Name>_WEB directory. This directory is found both on the development computer and on the deployment computer.

Remark: To get the "<Project name>_WEB" directory, you can use:

the FolderWeb function: this function returns a relative path to be interpreted by the browser.
the fWebDir function: this function returns an absolute path to be used from the server with the external file management functions (fxxx).

Example

// HTML control generated programmatically
ImageName is string = "Hello.gif"
HTM_HTMLControl = "<SRC IMG=""/" + FolderWeb() + "/" + ImageName + """>"

// IMG_IMAGE1 is an Image control
// Option checked:
// "Locate the image in the _WEB directory in browser code"
// Modify the image displayed in IMG_IMAGE1
IMG_IMAGE1 = "/Image_Map.gif"

// IMG_IMAGE1 is an Image control
// The option is unchecked:
// "Locate the image in the _WEB directory in browser code"
// Modify the image displayed in IMG_IMAGE1
IMG_IMAGE1 = FolderWeb() + "Image_Map.gif"

Syntax

<Result> = FolderWeb()

<Result>: Character string

Relative path of the directory containing the images, the JavaScript files, ...
The path does not end with the / character.

The path is completed by the / character at the beginning and at the end.

Remarks

Directory of images (in browser code)

By default, "Locate the image in the _WEB directory in browser code" is checked when describing an image. In this case, in browser code, the image is automatically sought in the _WEB directory of the site. No specific code is required.

If "Locate the image in the _WEB directory in the browser code" is unchecked, the full image path must be specified in order to find the image. To do so, use FolderWeb.

Specifying the directory of images in WLanguage for generating the HTML code

FolderWeb can be used to specify the directory of images when generating the HTML code in WLanguage.

If the HTML code must contain references to images or to any other static object (Java or JavaScript file), FolderWeb must be used to localize these files.

Setup

In the setup is performed via physical media, the directory of the data files is specified during the setup.

For a remote setup (FTP), the Internet provider supplies the home directory for the data files and the user supplies the name of the sub-directory in which the data files are installed.
