Hey guys,
A proper NOOB here so please forgive the simple questions.
I have created a dashboard in HTML and JavaScript but it links to files which I have uploaded to my droplet. On my PC it works fine using simple relative links but it does not seem to function at all on the droplet.
How should I alter my code to make it find a file located in the same droplet? Do I need an absolute reference?
Cheers
Rich

Hello there,
If the files are located in the directory as the file (let’s say index.html) then a full path reference wont be needed.
If they’re in subdirectories then you need to specify the path the to file starting from the current directory. A full path will also work but it’s not that common practice.
You can the Mozilla docs for web development, you might find it useful.
