MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / July 2007Help with html code
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.

TIA for any solutions 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.

TIA for any solutions 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...
