Here is the situation

Running IIS 6.0 on a Windows server 2003 box with one IP address
Have multiple websites that needed to be created

www.root.com
www.bus.com
www.emp.root.com

So we handled the multiple websites by using document headers

Here is the directory structure

inetpub
wwwroot
bus
emp
images
bus
emp
index.htm

What is the best way (or a way besides a absolute link) to link to the
images from the web site "bus"?
linking to a image these way will not work /images/emp/test.gif

Also linking to a stylesheet has it's problems
www.bus.com
<link rel="stylesheet" href="index.css" type="text/css"> with index.css
in the root of bus will not work


Thanks in advance for any help.

See answer to your previous post.

However, I would suggest that your file system organisation isn't
particularly optimal. The usual way of doing this would be:

inetpub
wwwroot
bus
images
emp
images
index.htm

Hello,

The folder "images" is outside the webroot of the website "bus". If you
were able to get to the folder "images", it would also be possible to get
to other folders on the file system (and as you can understand, that would
be a security risk).

I would recommend you to create a virtual folder "images" in each of the
websites. By doing this, you will not use any more disk space that you do
with your current setup, and all changes to the folder "images" will apply
to all websites having "images" as a virtual folder.

See all websites as individually websites, with no relation to each other.
That will help you construct the folder structure. It could look something
like:

inetpub
wwwroot
images (physical folder)
bus
images (virtual folder)
emp
images (virtual folder)

Hope this answers your question.
