This is a unique question, but thought it worth asking. I have an older person with no internet connection, who wants my see my website on their XP computer. If I can make it happen, it'd be great.
Is there a way to put it on there via DVD, wmv, something I'm not thinking of because Google results are tough to word on this one.

You can save your website to a flash drive and open each html page one at a time in a browser, because if you open your index and click on a link it will try to open it online.

If all the links are relative, it won't try to open them online.

That's what I thought Inger, but if I open a page made in VSD on my computer with FX and click on a link on that page it goes to the linked page that's on the web.:/

It's not good practice to use absolute links. Relative links are less demanding on the host server.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

I understand the linking and that in fact my links are relative.:rolleyes:
I saved my site to a flash drive and the links open as relative to the flash drive. That's weird that it doesn't work that way on my local pc. I wonder if it's FX.:/

Edit: I just tested IE and the links work as relative to my pc.:P

Eric - Could you maybe have a cached page in Fx? Just seems weird, that it works in IE on your local machine and not Fx...
