View Full Version : drop down menu link path

I was wondering if it is possible to link one of the options in my drop down menu to a local file without using the absolute path reference.

ex: "../index.html" instead of
"http://www.mysite.com/index.html"

I would really like to use the local path if possible.

Please let me know if you have found a way to do this. (I tried it but the link did not work when the menu was uploaded).

Thanks so much!

I just want to clarify what I am talking about here (I'm a little confused myself).

I am using Dreamweaver and the link is set relative to the document on which the menu exists.

There is a drop down menu on the index page and one of the options links to my feedback page (on the same site) but when I upload the site, the link does not work.

I hope that this is a better explanation and that someone knows how to script a link to the local file (the site needs to go live this week!)

<BASE HREF="http://www.mysite.com/">


And see if that helps.

If not you'll probaly need to use the full URL, because I doubt anyone will be able to fix it without seeing the problem first hand.

Good Luck,

Tip: Ditch Dreamweaver, and do your own codings bare-handed. ;)
