Okay. I have an SBC/Yahoo account which gives me some free web space. The address link is: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ehenao
So use that in my site set up in Dreamweaver MX (not 2004) in defining my site. Made the site and upped it. Well after clicking the first link, it takes me to http://pages.sbcglobal.net/home.htm instead of http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ehenao/home.htm

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!!


And i know it something freaking simple...

On a mac using os x.2.8

Thanks.

It looks like your links and images are using absolute paths from the site root.

for example

<a href="/home.htm" target="_top" ......

this tells browsers to start at the site root '/' to find all it's images, links, etc. It is determined form a drop menu in the bottom right of the link or image dialog box. you can choose 'site' or 'document'. You should probably use 'document' since you do not own or work at the site root level (sbcglobal.com), but a member level (.com/ehenao)

the links to you files will end up looking like one of these, more or less, depending on the way you have your site structure set up:

<a href="home.htm" target="_top" (no slash...same directory)

or


<a href="../home.htm" target="_top" (up one directory, etc)

Hope that helps.

OMG!!!

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!

I knew it was going to be something simple...

Final question, now that I know this, am I going to have to go back through all the pages/links and reset them individually, or is there a one dialogue box way of doing that?

Either way. THANK YOU for ending my 3 days of frustration.

These forums ROCK!

unfortunately, there is no easy way.

You might try host directory path to henao and setting the http address to : http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ehenao/

Also, you may try but Find & Replace would be more trouble than it is worth... and potentially dangerous.

But, if you want to give it a shot you could:

1) move all your files, pages and images to the top level of your site in DW. DW will ask if you want to update the paths, say yes

use find and replace to replace values in the source code site wide of:

src="/ and href="/

to

src=" and href=" (no '/'s)

Then use DW to move your files back into you sub directories such as /images, etc

DW will ask if you want to update the paths, say yes.

I don't know how your site is set up, it may just be easier to relink everything manually at this point.

Best,
