Hi,
I have a few photo albums generated by a third party and want to create link to them in a VSD page.
Since the albums are in individual folders on my drive, I cannot use the page link so I tried the Document Link but that does not work in the Preview Mode: Firefox reports it cannot open the address because it does not recognize the protocol used.
Below is the html generated by VSD
<a href="C:%5COlivier%27s Stuff%5CSites%5CWeb Albums%5CLaSilla92511%5Cindex.html">

So I need help in getting this to work. It should be simple to create a link to an index.html file on my hard drive, right?
Thanks in advance
Olivier

<a href="C:%5COlivier%27s Stuff%5CSites%5CWeb Albums%5CLaSilla92511%5Cindex.html"> Are you wanting them to be stored on your drive? Or are you planning on uploading them to a server?

I will upload the album on the server. I actually have done that already via ftp but now I want to be able to reference them from one of the webpages I am creating.

Ok, what I see you referencing is the file on your computer. You have to reference the link to the album so <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/albumname.html">

Thanks,
2 questions:
1. Will this work in the preview mode as well?
2. How do I link to an album (its index.html file) before I upload it to my website?

Ok,
I answered the first question: it works no problem
I still have not found an answer to the 2nd however

Well, you take your domain-name. So in my case sirage.com/index.html if it is in the root public HTML Folder. Now, if it is inside a folder such as sitestyle the link would be sirage.com/sitestlye/index.html.

The files need to be added to your site using the "Add files" under the "Edit" in the main menu.

I think he just wants to add a link to them. Am I reading wrong? lol

Thank you SirAge and Eric,
I may not have asked the question correctly:
There is no issue once the albums are up on my site: using the http://MyDomain/AlbumIndex.html works.

My current issue is that I am creating new albums and they are first on my drive in a specific folder. I'd like to create a link to them in a new page I am working on and checking things out with the Preview before I upload anything.
Using Add files, I can copy the album folder to the "local" website and then I create a link to the index.html file within that folder. However, when going to preview mode I get the same Firefox message.
I must be missing something here?
