Links refer to

firsttimer

I am trying to build a website by importing a website which matchs what I
want to design. The import of this other website works great. However, when
I open the index.html all the links are referencing a file link instead of
the actual web I just imported it from. Just doing some troubleshooting I
took the exact web I just imported from the other website and published it to
my comcast account. The site published ok, however whenever I click on one
of these links, its still pointing to my C: drive.

I did a search and replace, just to test again, the c:/ reference to the
actual website I was publishing to, and then the links work. The problem is
I have about 20 of these files with about 50plus reference this way and I
dont want to have to do the search and replace. Is there another way i
should be doing this? Did I miss a step?

I attached the HTML code just for reference.

TIA

onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">forum</a></li>

If you imported into a new site and opened that new site in FP as a Site (not just the page) the links should all be relative
- if they are not, you need to use S&R to correct them

I used the import a website wizard for FP2002. When the import was done, I
went to the folders view, clicked on it, and then opened the index.html file.
When I opened it, all the references I referred to in the thread were
pointing to my harddrive (C:/Documents and
| Settings/Administrator/My Documents/My Webs/myweb11/js/scripts.js.
Click to expand...

Was there something in the import wizard or a properties setting within
FP2002 that needs to be set so that this doesnt happen?

TIA

As I said do not File open Index.htm
- instead use File Open Site and open the web folder containing the site before opening the page

Stepfan, thanks for the reply. I understand what your saying and I am not
opening the file except only after I have opened a web. Then I click on the
Folder view(within the left frame of FP) and I see all the files listed in
the website and then double click on the file name from the file list. I am
not opening it independent of first opening a website.

Actually, I tested what you said and after I have opened web, then select
the web, I then go back and tried to do Open Web again from the file
menu(after I already opened the first web), then I went back to file menu,
select open web again, you cannot open any files...only a web.

Any thoughts.....

TIA
