Question Regarding Hyperlinks using Frontpage

[chopin2256]

I am using this piece of code on my webpages in order to help me with absolute links:

<base href="http://www.example.com/" >

However, I now have a problem when I do this. Everytime I go to add a new hyperlink, Frontpage puts in this address as the link:

file:///D:/Example%20Website/folder1/folder2/file.html

Then when I upload it to the server, it brings this link instead of www.example.com/folder1/folder2/file.html. I thought uploading to the server from frontpage would have replaced the "file:///D:/Example%20Website" with my domain, but it didn't. Then when I manually replaced the "file:///D:/Example%20Website" with my domain name, it gave me something like this:

www.example.com/www.example.com/folder1.........

It duplicated the domain. Not sure what to do here.

If <base href="http://www.example.com/" > is not in the code, it would give me a relative link.

I assuming working directly on the server can prevent this problem. However I usually like to work on a local computer before I update my site. All the hyperlinks I add locally have the base "D:\" the root of my harddrive. These hyperlinks do not convert to my website domain. Does anyone know what I can do?

Stop using Frontpage. ;)

Try opening your file in a text editor and correcting the info manually.

This usually happens if you 'preview' the page before saving it. Set up your links, then save and close the page without previewing it. You can then re-open the page and it will save the links correctly from that point on.
