Hyperlink Prolbem

[Guest]

Hi,

I an working on a fairly large website and am having problems with hyperlinks. Here are some basic questions which I have:

1) How can I create a hyperlink relative to the site? For example I want to get to the page: http://www.website.co.uk/subdir/mypage.htm from any location within the site.

For this one I have tried adding ../ to the beginning, but that only moves back one directory. Sometimes I find myself using ../../ or even more. This is causing other problems though, I need a way of getting a hyperlink relative to the main URL in one go.

2) How can I create a hyperlink relative to the current page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Lea Hayes

A relative hyperlink is:
href="subdir/mypage.htm"
an absolute hyperlink is:
href="http://www.website.co.uk/subdir/mypage.htm "

To insert / create a relative hyperlink to mypage.htm
with your web open, highlight the text or image that is
to be your "link" and then click the hyperlink Icon,
browse to the actual page and select it and click OK or Apply.
FrontPage will calculate the correct relative path for the link to the page.
