Help with html code

[Meebers]

Using publisher 07 to create site, all the files are uploaded however having
some trouble with a hyperlink. I used an icon as a hyperlink to allow users
to download a .pdf file. Viewing the code has the link wrong because it is
referencing my C: drive as the source of the file and I cannot seem to link
it correctly. (it worked correctly before I uploaded it to the host)
The code now is href="file:/// C:\Documents.......\index_files\filename.pdf
I would like to either ref the file in the index_files subdirectory or in
the main directory with index.htm. TIA for any solutions

In a Publisher 2000 website the link would read

/filename.pdf

If the file was located in a folder, i.e., downloads the link would be
/downloads/filename.pdf

The file needs to be uploaded to the folder where the website files are or
if in a folder the folder needs to be located where the website files are.

If you are using a Master Page and your link is on that master page, then
don't use a master page. They create problems with webpages.

Otherwise, study the hyperlink and make sure you are writing the link to the
location on your host where you have uploaded the file. Perhaps write an
absolute link instead of a relative link. Here is a reference:

Including external files in a Publisher web:

Thanks for the article....it jogged the thinking juices and WA LA...it
turned out to be rather straight forward. Instead of the href="file.... it
is hfef=www.website...\...\directory\filename. One other problem to solve
in new post... Tx
