General Question about FP and links

[Brett]

When ever I create a link within FP, it always puts the full file path
instead of
the relative path...

it.. file:///c:/whatever/whatever/my%20webs/whatever

as to where it should just be...

whatever.htm

I have manually go thru all the code with Notepad pad after FP is done and
change the links to a relative path..


Can anyone help me with the very time comsuming correction.
( I just can't believe FP hardcodes file paths.. is just seems so stupid..
but I just can't make it do it automatically)


Thanks...
Brett

You must first open web / site then open or create your pages.

Import the pages into your web first, then link to the page that's in the
web.

HI guys...
the problem is the site is closed and will not be available to
the web or published on a server.

it resides on a network share (\\%server%\%share%\index.htm)
and everything starts within that directory.

You are working with a disk based web, which means that any function/feature the needs to be run
from a web server or uses the FP run-time extensions will not work.

Hi Thomas..

Yeah.. I know.. I'm trying to keep this a simple as possible since the
information is sensitive.
Thank you ...

How is having the content running from IIS an issue?

Since these documents are confidential, I will not allow these
to sit on ANY web server to be viewable. (Domino, (and I'm a lotus guy...),
IIS,, whatever)
- any server can be hacked/buffer overflowed..etc..etc...

This way I only have to deal with one issue. File level Security and the
Directory Share.
