I've created a CD-ROM of my catalog. I am testing it now. The opening page is a simple HTML page. On the page there are a few graphics and links to PDF chapters of the catalog. No Flash etc. This disc runs fine in Internet Explorer. In Firefox, the graphics are not visible and the links to the PDF files are broken. It looks like the browser does not know to look on the CD-ROM for the associated files. The path doesn't have the cd drive letter in it. In other words, when I hover over a link or a graphic, Firefox shows the following: file:///subdirectory/file In Internet Explorer, I see file:///K:or what ever the CD-Rom letter is /subdirectory/file What do I need to do to the HTML code to make this CD run properly in the Mozilla browser?

Try specifying the root as / or /index.htm _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to eureka125)


eureka125 Posts: 41 From: bloomfield, NY US Status: offline	RE: Firefox issue - 9/25/2006 10:22:32 I found if I removed the "/" at the beginning, it worked in both browsers. What is the difference between these three paths? pdf/myfile.pdf /pdf/myfile.pdf ./pdf/myfile.pdf (note the period in front of the "/") I want my CD to work with as many operating systems and browsers as possible. I've noticed that the second example is not compatible with Firefox. Internet Explorer can use either the first or second example. Someone in Germany told me the preferred syntax is the third example. Do you know anything about the leading "."? (in reply to jaybee)

If it's still having problems then the way you've specified your links is absolutely your problem, relatively speaking. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
