Include paths

PeeWeeHaa

Hi guys,
I am pretty new to Sketchup, RubyScript and webdialogs and i encounter an issue with writing webdialogs. Not sure if this is the correct forum to post, but feel free to correct me...

I am writing a webdialog that edits data and i need to include an external css script and library. I can manage that with a relative path using something like

I would like to include it with an absolute path, something like

Is there a way to get this root from within the webdialog?

... but it is more normal to have your plugins resources in a sub-directory of your plugin's sub-directory.

IN Ruby you can do interpolation in double-quoted strings with the #{ } operator. The expression between the curlies is evaluated and passed to the result's to_s method, then stuffed into the string.

So you'd create a string of html:


html = %Q{
 <html>
    <head>
      <base href="#{myroot}" />
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/webdialogs.css" />
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
 </html>
}

my_dialog.set_html(html)

You can also use a HEREDOC.
