MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / December 2005Navigation bar links not working.
I am using Publisher 2003.I created my navigation bar using the Easy website builder. The navigation bar and it's links work, going to different pages in the web preview. When I place it on my web page's server the navigation bar does not work. I get page cannot be found when clicking on the links? Any suggestions? only the obvious one, upload the missing pages. see the FAQ, common mistake - http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 and visit the 2003 for proper publishing instructions.

It sounds like it's referencing pages locally (i.e. C:\yoursitedir\pagename.html) so that when you preview it locally (on your machine) it works fine. When you upload it to the server, though, there IS no C:\ etc... so you get Page Not Found. Solution: fix the links so they reference the pages without the C:\yoursitedir\. So if there is a link to your home page (lets call it index.html) then it would link to index.html and not C:\yoursitedir\index.html. Same for files being linked to in subdirectories. If you have a link to widgets.html in your Products subdirectory, then the right way for the link to appear would be products/widgets.html and not C:\yoursitedir\products\widgets.html Hope this helps!

Any > suggestions? using Publisher to upload gives you an assurance that all files are correctly uploaded. If you don't use Publisher to upload you should create a folder in My Documents and then browse to that folder when you save the web and save the web there. Then upload the full contents of that folder using the tool you want. David Bartosik - [MSFT MVP] http://www.publishermvps.com http://www.davidbartosik.com >I looked at the 2003 Publisher irections.

Thanks Cynthia, that's exactly the problem I am having. I went to publisher 2003 for help on the problem and found nothing helpful -kind of like Bavid Bartosik[MSFT MVP] who didn't even direct us to help properly. I am glad you put your response on. > I looked at the 2003 Publisher irections. I do not have FTP. My HTTP does not > have FPSE installed. How can I load all my pages via my Hosts File Manager?

Donna, sorry for your frustration, but instead of referencing a mixed issues thread, perhaps you should restate your Pub version, your specific issues, the specific steps you take to reproduce your issue, and post your URL for review. It is hard to help when this information is not provided. DavidF > Thanks Cynthia, that's exactly the problem I am having.
