How do I use cfinclude

I have a directory like this:

-root

-includes

-javascript

-load_states.cfm

-explorer

-tools

-reg_update

-questions_render.cfm

Now i am currently working in questions_render.cfm file, and i want to write a <cfinclude> tag within this file to reference load_states.cfm.

How chould i write the relative path for load_states.cfm?

really thanks!

I find absolute paths easier to work with. / puts you at the web root. Then you just follow the path to your file.

I find it odd that you would have a .cfm file in a directory called javascript.

Thanks, i've resolved this problem, it looks like this:

Yes, its not a javscript file but act exactly as a js file. The functionalities are same if you write a js file implements the same logic.

Don't forget that you can set up virtual directory mappings at the CF Administrator level.

i.e. set up a mapping for /js_includes/ that points to ROOT/includes/javascript

Which helps when you are dealing with servers that host multiple CF sites. May not be an issue for you.
