Some HOME links not working - why?

L

Lochi

My new site is simple. Just a HOME page with 20 links from there to one level
down to child pages. At the bottom of each of those is a “HOME†link back to
the Home page. No Hover button stuff, shared borders or what-nots. Some of
the button links work perfectly well, while others don’t. When you mouse-over
them the screen tip indicates a links to the Home page to where that is to be
found on the C drive. The ones who work well says www.actual url like they
should.
How did I do these links? I constructed the first one, then copied it and
pasted it on every one of the 20 pages.
What now?
Thanx
Lochi

You need to be working in a FP web (not just pages)
Use View Reports broken links to correct the links

Thank you Stefan, but I have for certain been working on a complete FP web
all the time. When I browse it on the C drive, all these links work well. I
have treated all pages equal as far as the links issue goes.
OK, I check out the "broken links" facility and see what happens.

my documents Stefan,
I checked on the hyperlink properties and found a clear distinction between
those that work and those that don't. Just like when browsing it on the
Internet, the correct ones have only index.htm as their links and the others
have C/my documents/etc.../index.htm as their links. I shall fix them and
overright those pages.
I still cannot explain how that could have happened, but at least I can fix it
Thanx again
