Incorrect Hyperlinks

B

Burger23

I have a webpage that has 2 links: one link to 2002 and one link to 2003. When 2002 is clicked, the user is taken to the 2002 webpage which contains more links to pictures. When a picture link is chosen, it works correctly and the user is taken to the picture

However, when the other year, 2003, is chosen, the user gets a bad link message. Checking to link properties at the bottom of the page, I learn that the link is to the original webpage ON MY Computer (D:\My webs\main\2003). I have tried recalculating the links

How do I get Frontpage to publish all webpages correctly?

Thanks in advance—this is driving me nuts!!!

When you work with your local web, make sure you always open the web/site
first, and that all content is within the current open web first before
using or linking to it.

Thanks for replying, Thomas. I am not completely clear about your reply. I opened Frontpage and in Design I can hold down the Contro;l key and all hyperlinks work correctly. Is this what you mean?

Since you snipped my reply, I don't remember what I said, but what you
indicated below, I know it was not what I meant.

No.

Thomas said to open your Front Page WEB. Obviously, you
must open the Front Page program in order to do this but
you have to then File | Open your web.

In general, all content you hyperlink to in your disk
based web (as opposed to your web on your web service
provider) should be contained within the disk based web
prior to your creating a hyperlink. If you don't take
this step then your hyperlink will point to content (in
your case pictures) on your hard disk. Obviously, your
web visitors will not be able to access your computer to
retrieve that content.

I hope this clears things up for you.

I am opening the webpage first!. All pictures are contained in the D:\My Webs folder. The bad link is back to my harddrive where I store my webpage. I am having trouble explaining this-- if not clear let me know and I will try explaining another way!! :)

But you need to open the web site first (File Menu | Open Web) prior to
opening the page.

Sometimes FP will do this even when you do everything right. If you copy and
paste a link from one spot to another, especially if they are on differentl
levels of the tree, FP will dometimes do this. It sometimes does it with
photos for no aparent reason. I have tried to make it happen on purpose, but
I cannot. It doesn't seem to happen on the navigation bars or on included
pages. Whenever I publish a new page, I take a quick look at the links,
especially the photos.

There is a communication problem here- so I will start over!

I have a web page for Ballard Softball that consists of a main index.htm—and 2 other folders that are linked to the same web page: Year 2002 and Year 2003. These pages were created in Frontpage 2003 and reside on my D:\My Webs. So Ballard is the main folder, with 2 sub-folders 2002 and 2003. When I first open the local web site and use the control-key left-mouse click all hyperlinks work correctly. The problem is after I publish the website, the links on the main index page work, correctly directing users to either the 2003 or the 2003 page. If 2003 is selected all links work fine. But if 2002 is selected, the links do not work since they refer the user back to d:\my web, not to the remote website.

The site is: http://www.gradygroup.com/ballard/

Thanks for your help in advance.
