davebukouricz Posts: 300 From: Ma None Status: offline	RE: HELP-MY WEB IS PUBLISHED - LINKS DON'T WORK - 6/6/2001 22:11:00 Actually I just found another issue. My recommendation, you need to fix this tonight?copy these four lines of code into notepad FIRST, then copy and paste them into you four pages where your buttons are now. <a href="http://www.boxmasterusa.com/local.htm" >Local Services</a> <a href="http://www.boxmasterusa.com/products.htm">Products</a> <a href="http://www.boxmasterusa.com/contactus.htm">Contact Us</a> <a href="http://www.boxmasterusa.com/boxmasterusa_search_feature.htm">Search</a></p> (in reply to tonitiger)


davebukouricz Posts: 300 From: Ma None Status: offline	RE: HELP-MY WEB IS PUBLISHED - LINKS DON'T WORK - 6/6/2001 22:18:00 Ok now you have working pages. What went wrong? You are using what appears to be the buttons from FP meant to be used in forms, and your pages were hyperlinked locally, so when you uploaded (not published) your site the links remained as they were in the development environment. Find, download, create a gif to use as buttons. I don't usually recommend this but where there are only four, it should be a problem. OR you could consider a dynamic (DHTML) menu. This can be really handy as your site grows. <----- checkout the Dropdown menu. Whatever the case, don't use the FP hover buttons, they are a real pain in the a--. (in reply to tonitiger)

On my product page also, I have links to all the other pages. Do I need to add http to those too and does that have to be done by editing the hyperlink on each. please advise.

N0 those links to the equipment are fine.
Here is your home page you can copy it all, paste it into notepad, copy it from notepad, and paste it in place of the html on your homepage. this will give you 4 hyprelinks in place of the buttons.
Dave. Just a temp fix.

tonitiger Posts: 11 From: Lakewood, OH, USA Status: offline	RE: HELP-MY WEB IS PUBLISHED - LINKS DON'T WORK - 6/7/2001 20:56:00 Dave, Thanks you sooooo much. I was able create new buttons and upload the pages again. I am having a problem with the home page button that I can't figure out. The link is to the default page, the content of which is showing up on my sites homepage. However, when I click on the link I get a URL not found screen. I noticed the the URL for the home page does not include default.htm although as I said that is the content of the page. Any ideas anyone? And thank goodness for this forum is all I can say. (in reply to tonitiger)


davebukouricz Posts: 300 From: Ma None Status: offline	RE: HELP-MY WEB IS PUBLISHED - LINKS DON'T WORK - 6/7/2001 20:14:00 just drop the /default. Your site uses index.html for the homepage but it doesn't have to be in the hyperlink for the button http://www.boxmasterusa.com will be fine for the hompage hyperlink [This message has been edited by davebukouricz (edited 06-07-2001).] (in reply to tonitiger)
