The Icons Directory

There are several general-purpose icons that can appear in the HTML pages generated by ImajSite. When an icon is needed, ImajSite searches for a subdirectory named "icons". If the "icons" subdirectory is not found in the current directory, ImajSite searches for the subdirectory in each of the parent directories, starting at the immediate parent and working toward the root directory. Once the "icons" directory is found, the icon is obtained from that directory.

In addition to icons, the icons directory also contains other shared files. The following items may be contained in the icons directory:

  1. Shared HTML files
  2. Graphics used in generated HTML files
  3. Graphics used by controls.htm
  4. Keyword icons
  5. Index Template files
A complete icons directory is supplied in the ImajSite distribution package. This directory can be simply copied to the desired directory as needed.

ImajSite looks for the icons directory in the following places (in order):

  1. ./icons
  2. ../icons
  3. ../../icons
  4. ...
All generated links to files in the icons directory are relative links.
