johnny.karlson - 05 Oct 2004 09:39 GMT I choosed "save as web page" and "publish" etc. and it works find as long as I open the html file in the computer but not on the web. From my homepage I have a link to the folder/html document which will not open. Is anything wrong with the link? <A HREF="folder/filename.htm"><img src="filmikon2.jpg" width=198 height=71border="0"></A> Or do I have to make any correction in the html doc?
TAJ Simmons - 05 Oct 2004 11:26 GMT Johnny,
<A HREF="folder/filename.htm"><img src="filmikon2.jpg" width=198 height=71border="0"></A>
This, if it worked would, when the image filmikon2.jpg was clicked would tell the browser to open the file called filename.htm in the folder called folder.
Things I can see that would cause a problem.....
There is no space between 71 and the word border
the filmikon2.jpg must reside in the root folder (i.e. not a sub folder)
the folder called folder must exist and the file called filename.htm must also exist
Things to try...
(1) put the full path in href=http://www.mywebsite.com/subfolder/filename.htm
(2) put a text link in also .....border="0">Text link</a>
(3) put a space in before the word border
(4) Test it on the web

I tried it all. But unfortunately it still not work. I have a feeling that the target (the real name is "kvalitetshem4.htm") which is created by the PP program when converting/saving to web files, can´t open. Clicking on the link I get the error "The page cannot be found". The first lines in the document looks like this:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:p="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:powerpoint" xmlns:oa="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:activation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name=ProgId content=PowerPoint.Slide> <meta name=Generator content="Microsoft PowerPoint 10"> <link rel=File-List href="KvalitetsHem4-filer/filelist.xml"> <link rel=Preview href="KvalitetsHem4-filer/preview.wmf"> <link rel=Edit-Time-Data href="KvalitetsHem4-filer/editdata.mso"> <title>Att köpa nytt</title> etc.
Looking forward to the next effort. Thanks in advance/jk

The file is:
KvalitetsHem4-filer.htm
The folder of supporting files is:
\KvalitetsHem4-filer
You need to upload the file and the folder full of supporting files to your web server. You should link to the file itself, not to any of the files in the supporting folder.
I think that should solve the problem.
If not, please post a URL where we can have a look, if it's on a public server.

johnny.karlson - 08 Oct 2004 13:41 GMT I have made some 20 different experiment with links, uploading to new places etc. Now I have restored it all to how I begun. I know about the file folder and the htm file. And the path is leading to the htm file. Still it works fine in the computor but on the web I can opent the homepage, link to the place where the htm file is, but the Explorer says that the page cannot be found despite the right path is shown in the address list. I am confused about your last reply. You may see my homepage at: http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/ and you´ll get the error open the link leading to this address: http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/kvalitetshem4.htm ...and the code in the index.htm is: <A HREF="http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/kvalitetshem4.htm"><img src="filmikon2.jpg" width=198 height=71 border="0"></A> This made by a recommendation. Earlier: <A HREF="bildspel/kvalitetshem4.htm"><img src="filmikon2.jpg" width=198 height=71 border="0"></A> Pls. review our communication and hopefully find out. Thanks again, /jk

It should be http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/KvalitetsHem4.htm I believe. However, it gets badly hung in IE 6 when I try to go to that link.

Your web site is probably hosted on a Unix/Linux or similar server. To these computers, This.htm and THIS.htm and THis.htm are all different files. UPPER/lower case is important. On a Windows computer, they're all the same.
If I go to
http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/KvalitetsHem4.htm
(and wait quite a while) I do eventually see the page. It takes quite a while to download, perhaps because of the sound. But before you can investigate that, you need to fix the problem with the file names.

================================================ Apologies for the delayed response. Just back from PowerPoint Live 2004 Had a great time, learned a lot ================================================
Sonia - 18 Oct 2004 16:55 GMT What I'm saying is that your source says:
<A HREF="http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/kvalitetshem4.htm"><img src="filmikon2.jpg" width=198 height=71 border="0"></A>
However, your file is actually named:
http://w1.404.telia.com/~u40443964/bildspel/KvalitetsHem4.htm
The browser is sensitive to capitalization and does not find kvalitetshem4.htm because the file name is actually KvalitetsHem4.htm.

Strictly speaking, the browser isn't case sensitive but the file system where the web server runs is.
Assuming the filenames haven't been changed in the upload, that's why it works locally (on case-insensitive Windows) but not remotely (Apache web server on case-sensitive *nix).
Sonia - 18 Oct 2004 20:00 GMT I got lazy with the words. It's always more fun to blame something people are familiar with. It might also be considered politically incorrect to blame an Apache web server. <G>

It runs on *nixen, Windows, Mac and such. It's the OS what makes fun and games with filenames.
Apache says "Gimme SoniaColeman.htm" and *nix nixes that if all it's got is Soniacoleman.htm
In the same situation, same files, Windows shrugs and says "Here, this one'll do"
And it does.
<UnixenVoice>But that's WRONG</UnixenVoice> Hush. It is not.
