Hi Guys,

I am a complete novice at website design and I use NetFusion Objects to design my websites.

I am having a problem linking to the various pages.

The main index file is fine but it is the others that are the problem. When I upload via ftp, the additional pages go into a subdirectory called html. So theoretically my link should be www.seorevenge.org/html/contact.html but it is not finding the page. I have also tried www.seorevenge.org/contact.html :confused:

Would someone be able to help me? The site is www.seorevenge.org

Thanks so much.
Di

    Not having seen your directory structure I would suspect html is your top level directory. You should also be able to use relative paths. for example if html is your top level directory then you should be able to use /contact.html If the calling page is not in the same folder then you should be able to use "./contact.html or possibly ../contact.html. You shouldn't have to name the top level directory"./ means up one level and ../ means up two levels. In other words if the calling page is further down in the directory structure then ../ tells it to go up two levels and then follow the specified directory path

      I always prefer to use relative paths . absolute paths means the page request is going out on the internet and having to go through DNS servers and various routers and points where DNS information may be cached and then make its way back to your web server. whereas the relative path only has to navigate its way through the local websites folder structure and the local web server handles all of that.
