help!

I started learning HTML yesterday. wacko.gif
I'm using dreamweaver.
My test site isn't online yet.
I have linked my site to a basic css, and applied a template (containing a table with strips of images along the top and down one side) to the site. when I preview the site in a browser, the index page looks ok (for a novice!), I have set up navigation menu - when I follow any of the links from here I get to the appropriate page, but the images are just placehoolders and the menu stops working, so I have to go back to the index and navigate from there... angry.gif . there's also a problem with the doctype (so I'm told).

Any help would be fantastic!

the template code is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Generic Employability</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#CCCCCC" text="#9966FF" link="#9900FF" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#0000FF">
<h1><font color="#990099">Generic Employability</font></h1>
<h2><font color="#990099"><em>The Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Generic Employability Skills</em></font></h2>
<table width="75%" border="1" align="center">

If I understand you right links and images work on the index page but not on other pages. Correct? If you have written all URL's as in your example, with root relative URLs, they should work from anywhere. On your local machine "/" probably refers to "c:\" though. So if this is locally that could be a problem. Hard to say what's wrong without seeing the pages.
