Ive used Abyss Server to launch my website from a CD but for some reason some of my links do not open.
Typical example of link name:
<a href="folder1/uiit/01_contents/it_index_page.doc"</a>
Would this have something to do it these non-ASCII characters? Or is it something else? |

Your missing a >
<a href="folder1/uiit/01_contents/it_index_page.doc">Link</a>
that may be te case, but, is folder 1, located in htdocs, on this cd?
btw, why do you run site from cd?

Foxified,
No folder 1 is not located in the htdocs, should it be?
I am running site from CD so people with no internet connection can access it.
Thanks for help.....A |

Foxified,
I have tried your suggestion and though the < was missing the doc still doesnt open when i run my CD.
It opens fine when i try from my hard drive. Just to re-cap the htdocs folder sits in 'folder 1' - not the other way round.
I bet it'll be something small but i just cant see it.....help!!!!!!!! |

folder 1 has to be in the htdocs folder, inside, htdocs is your web folder. everything with your sit is there.

The URL is relative here. So the browser will use the directory containing the currently browsed page (containing this code) and will append the relative URL to it and request the whole absolute URL from the server.
So check the relative URL. Otherwise, try to use absolute URL only such as /dir1/dir2/folder1/uiit/01_contents/it_index_page.doc . |
