href

[rejto]

Helllo,

The following href works fine for my Netxscape win2k browser:

<a herf="file://C;cardat,html">

However, the following href does not work at all for me:

<a href="file://C:hyperphysics.phys-astr.edu/cardat.html">

Any suggestions concerning my problem, would be most appreciated.

Perhaps because you've made more typo's than most of the developed world combined into the one link. Or maybe it's because you are trying to link to a file on you're own hard drive, which no-one else on the net has any access to.

Dear Corrosive:

Yes, I do try to connect to a file on my own harddrive.
I have no problem doing this with other files or directories.  In fact,
if I omit the "... .gsu" string  form my directory path  it
also works.  More specifically, if I move the cardat.html file
to a directory above the "....  .gsu"  directory, it also works.

In other words, my problem is that my Netscape does not recognize the  "... .gsu" string  as a valid directory.

Is it possible that Netscape does not recognize a valid Win/DOS directory ?  I would love to know the answer.


Loking forward to hearing from you again.

Thanks,

Hi rejto,

r u coding in html? i thot hyperlink should be <a href="index.html">

when u put the
file://C:.........
your link will reference c: drive for the html file, which is not correct if u move ur html file from it's original location.

do u know about absoluate links and relative links?
