Well i finally got what you guys were trying to say...

i made an indexd page and made a link but when i click on that link it says
file not found...the reason for this is basically the page is tautology.741.com
and the other page is tautology.741.com/picofla

when i click on the link it repeats the link twice like

tautology.741.com/tautology.741.com/picofla

What did i do heren ....!!!!!!!!:)

thanks once again!

two things-

You have to deal with file extensions.

You would be better off using the "browse to file" icon in the Property
inspector to go and pick the actual file, and let dreamweaver make the link
for you. And- i suggest you set the pulldown in the bottom of the browse to
file dialog box so it makes "Relative to Document" links.

The reason your link fails, is that you have included the domain name. When
you want to make a full absolute path, with the domain name, you must start
the link with http://

you had <a href="tautology.741.com/picofla">

this would work:
absolute link <a href="http://tautology.741.com/picofla">

document relative link <a href="picofla">

site root relative link <a href="/picofla">

assuming that there is something named picofla at that location.
There should be a file extension for the other file- unless it's a folder.
