Re: XML Path-Question (somehow related to QuickTime)

Hi all,

just a simple short question (i hope):

how can i define a relative path "one folder back" in an XML-file ?

In html it would be: "../pano.mov". But i am not very firm in XML...

I tried the above spelling but the image will not load - so i assume it should be defined in another way.
I even tried to give an abolute path (http://www.mypage.com/panos/ pano-mov) but also without result.


Any hint?

More info on how you're using a path in XML would be useful - XML itself doesn't specify things like how filesystem paths should be expressed, but specific dialects of XML do (XMP, or SMIL, or some other flavor). So what flavor of XML are you using? Perhaps give us an example?


Yes, in general the ../ convention works in most places where relative paths are accepted; what coonfuses me is that you listed a URI as an "absolute path" where really an absolute path on a filesystem starts with the root of a filesytem, like / - what you listed was an absolute URI (it includes a scheme, like http). Paths and URIs are sometmes interchangeable, sometimes not, depending on the context.

Curious though that even your absolute URI doesn't work; without an actual example it's hard to say why. Is this SMIL?
