Using the MyWebServer Virtual Toolbar


The MyWebServer Virtual Toolbar is a Virtual Page named Navigator.html which is located in the Virtual Directory named MWS. So the path to it from the Root directory of the server is MWS/Navigator.html. 

You can include the Virtual Toolbar in the pages on your web site in order to allow access to the MyWebServer Applications you have enabled. Since its a page, it is usually the contents of a frame in a containing page (see the default home page files index.html and homepage.html that MyWebServer creates on installation for an example of this).

Adressing
You should use relative addressing when referring to MWS/Navigator.html. in your pages. If the page is located in the root directory you can just refer to it as MWS/Navigator.html. If your inside of a directory which is in the root (a sub directory of the root directory) you would refer to it as "../MWS/Navigator.html". The ../ in the front tells the web server the file is located in the parent directory of the directory containing this file. If your file is 2 directories below the root directory, no problem you just use two ../  like this "../../MWS/Navigator.html". You need one ..// in front of the MWS/Navigator.html for each level down in your directory hierarchy. If your file is ten levels deep the reference to the Virtual Toolbar file might look like this "../../../../../../../../../../MWS/Navigator.html"
