| I am experiancing some problems with attempting to Hyperlink a document. When I
right clik on my title and select Make a link, I browse to the folder and then
to the document that I want Linked. After I save, and then when using my
browser and selecting the title that has a link to it. It will not open. If I
go in and edit that link by changin all of the forward slashes to back slashes
the Link will then work.
Is there a setting in Dreamweaver that I can set that will keep me from having
to make all of the backslash changes ?
I am extreamly frustrated.:frown;

| Save your work first. Sounds like you're linking before the document is
saved, which saves it relative to the file, which use c:\. saving it to the
web saves it relative tothe site definition, which means root/.

Well, actually, it means saving it to the root of your computer directories.

Document relative or site root relative both work fine for the web, as long
as the site is defined, the page is saved correctly, and the local and
remote sites share the same directory structure.

You're right. I just tried this out and it saved it as ../ instead of
file:||c:\. Would the same thing happen if you had no site definition or a
corrupt site definition? I dont' hav etime to test.
You might need to reinstall your DW man. :O) Tim's right - your process
should work fine.

Without a site definition, certainly a root relative link would be
completely messed up. DW would be forced to assume that the root was (again)
the C drive. I'm not sure about document relative.
