A question about graphics hyperlinks.

[Hunter]

I've scanned the NG, and can't seem to find an answer to my problem...

Okay. I'm a semi-newbie with FrontPage, and I currently use FrontPage
2000, and I'm having a problem!

I wanted to add a hyperlink to one of my pages (to another page,) and
went to the page, itself, in mozilla, and saved the index.htm file that
I wanted to append to, to a different file on my hard drive than the
original folder containing all my web design files. When I opened it up
to edit it in Front Page, all the image hyperlinks had been reverted
back to the directory in which I saved the index.htm file.

I did my revisions, and then saved it, uploaded it, then checked it out
in mozilla. Apparantly, all the image hyperlinks had been linked to
where FP saved it on my hard disk. (specifically, to the index_files
sub-folder that was created by mozilla in the folder where I saved the
page to my hard drive.)

My question is this: Can I do a "mass change" on the url directory in
which all my images are in, instead of having to go back through every
image (about 30) and change the link? Is there any way to do it all in
one process?

Thanks in advance!

Front Page is a program to be used in creating/modifying
web pages. Mozilla is a browser with which to view web
pages on the net.

Unless you are the kind of person who would use a hammer
to saw wood (ie, use the wrong tool for the job), I would
suggest you use Front Page to make any changes to your
web pages. Save all of the files for your web that you
create using Front Page into a Front Page disk-based web
not some random place on your hard drive. This way Front
Page will manage changes to links, renaming of files,
etc. for you.

Specifically I would suggest you start over with the
problem page, open the file with Front Page and make your
changes using it.

Yes - if I understand what you need correctly. In FrontPage, create the new
directory for the images, then move the images from the old directory to the
new one. FP will go though all the pages in the web and update URLs as
needed.
