HEllo All,

I get this strange problem sometimes when I do linking. When I do a linking, how come sometimes DWMX gives me a slash (/) in front of a link? For example, when I want to link to another web-page, I would go to properties palette, and click on the folder to link to another web-page. But during the process of linking, how come I have a (/) in fornt of the page name? for example, /abc.htm?? Because of this it gives me a lot of linking errors. How would you solve this problem?

Thanks for reading this!

When defining a link to another page, in the links dialog there is a dropdown where you can specify whether the link should be 'root relative' or 'document relative'.
When you specify 'root relative', that / gets inserted to always reference the file from the root directory of your website.
When you specify 'document relative', the path to the linked file will be declared with a path relative to the current document.
