Dreamweaver problem, need help with links. Local root folder keeps disappearing?
Posted on September 21st, 2008 in Programming |
hi, im making a website and i have just noticed that dreamweaver has jus started to miss a folder when assigning links.
i.e. if i wanted to link to the file
/D:/Documents and Settings/********/My Documents/De****ar.co.uk/Services_Hair Dressing_Natural Styling.html.
Using the foldering system to assign a link to the file. Naturally dreamweaver will truncate the address to make it relavent to the site root folder. But when i preview the site and try to use a link, the link that comes up in the adress bar is:
D:/Documents and Settings/********/My Documents/Services_Hair Dressing_Natural Styling.html.
showing that it has totally missed the local root folder. odly enough it was working fine up about an hour ago and i havent changed any settings in terms of the file structure i have. I have already tried closing the program and restarting it to no avail.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem any1 ? thx
Answer:
You need to edit your site information. Check the local folders page. Change it so that the pages are relative to the document not the site root.
Then your first page (index.htm) can link to Services_Hair Dressing_Natural Styling.htm and back without any of the rest of the address which you don't need and which will break when you upload
