I'm going to try to explain this as clear as possible using example, even though I'm really not exactly sure what the problem is.
I've redone website I have using Dreamweaver. This is the first time I've used anything other than FrontPage). I've actually got the page exactly how I want it (locally), however I'm having some troubles with the links and images displaying properly now that it's been uploaded. Some information regarding the site: Under Site Manager: Local Root Folder: d:\my documents\New Web Default Images folder:d:\my documents\New Web\images Links Relative to: Site Root http address: www.lifeguardhome.com Other Info: Registered Domain Name: www.lifeguardhome.com (redirection to my host) Host: www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard (it's a friend's site who has allowed me to use an area (the ~lifeguard directory) for free hence I don't want to switch it over to somewhere else. Test Host: lifeguardhome.fateback.com (works perfect!!) Like I said, all the pages work fine when I open them up locally. SO then I decided I would upload the files to a free site for testing (before I overwrote the current site). So I uploaded everything to http://lifeguardhome.fateback.com and EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT (note: I haven't uploaded everything under the downloads section, but obviously all the links and stuff that HAVE been uploaded work fine). So then I uploaded to my current server (www.teamantone.com/~lifeguard) and although all the pages show up, none of the links or images are showing up properly. The best I can figure is that is has something to do with the "/~lifeguard" folder off of the actual host (www.teamantons.com). This seems to be adding an extra sublevel into the equation which is wrecking all the links). Here are some direct links to different areas of the site so you can check them out and see if you can figure out the problem: www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/comps.htm www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/downloads.htm www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/comps/2003.htm www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/comps/barnsley/1993.htm www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/guarding/mynls.htm www.teamantons.com/~lifeguard/guarding/procedures/cspine.htm As you can see when you hover over a link on the right hand side (all my sublinks), they DO NOT reference the /~lifeguard/ subfolder which is necessary for the link to work. In the fateback.com site I mentioned earlier there is no /~lifeguard/ subfolder so everything works fine. Does anyone have ANY help on how I can get Dramweaver to correct this? It's obviously very frustrating. Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by lifeguard23: May 14 2007, 11:27 AM |

Some of your links use href="foo" and some use href="/foo". These are different.
Please see the FAQ entry How can I avoid using the whole URL? |
