That's what I started with. I've just done a test and this is the response [an error occurred while processing this directive] on both a main folder page, and a subfolder.

the test text file has src="/images/pound_page_head3.gif"
the test shtml files have  <!--#include virtual="/test.txt-->

The main folder works on src="images/pound_page_head3.gif" in the test file
This works on existing sub-folder pages, but now not on the test src="../images/pound_page_head3.gif"

On the face of it there is obvious error by me... But it is all cut and paste, from working to test. And IE is doing the same as html-kit, so the fault isn't in the program. I'm going to have to leave it for now and go down the path that is working. It is a mystery which I'll solve later.

Thanks for the help and advice.
