In the project I'm working on I need to keep all the full urls even to local objects. Everytime I enter a full local url, when I save and come back to the project the URLs have been truncated example.
///C:/photo/image.png is getting changed to ../../../photo/image.png .!
I didn't ask it to do this and can't find a way to turn it off. I need it to leave the links alone and not keep changing them. How do you turn this off ??
I really get bugged by software that just assumes it know what i want. If I want relative addressing I'll ask for it.

How do you turn off AUTO relative addressing ?
I've tested this more and it's driving me nuts. If this "feature" can't be turned off it make this software useless.
I'm not building a website, I'm writing HTLM code. This is suppose to be a HTML editor, not a website building baby sitter. I know the difference between absolute and relative addressing and when I need/want to use them. HTML code is used lots of places besides a website and my use for this particular project REQUIRES absolute addressing.
Why can't I write code using absolute addresses and not have this "editor" change everything to relative everytime I save the damn file. There MUST be a simple way to turn this off.

Hi Joel, my HTML editor does not seem to be doing that. I just tested but I'm really not much of a coder. So, two things...make sure you have the latest version downloaded and installed. Updates are free. The second is to open a support topic with CoffeeCup as you may get a faster answer on the weekend. This is just a user to user forum and it may take a while to get an answer. Just go to the top menu under your name and select 'Your Support Room' to open a ticket.

If you needing absolute type the path to the object where it's located online. This way you won't have to change them after publishing.

He said it was not for awebsite. But the purpose Of the html editor IS creating websites.
I don't know if there is such a thing as full urls to local files. Maybe if you use Notepad, though.

I missed that posting from my phone.
This works for me.
When you browse to your image for insert the editor will paste the code with the word file: at the front of the code. Remove that and save.

Ok I think I need to be a little more clear....

the problem I'm having is the CCup is changing the code I enter. I enter it just like I need it and when I save the file CCup changes it to what it wants. This code is NOT for use on a website. I DO NOT want relative addressing. I entered the code EXACTLY like I wanted it. WHY does CCup change that? What I entered IS legal code.
Example (using the sample above).

if I enter
"file://C:/Users/User/Pictures/myimage.jpg" (which is considered a "full" local URL) as the path to a local image. When I save the file, CCup changes that path to
"../../../Pictures/myimage.jpg"
I didn't ask CCup to change it, it just thought it knew best. Unfortunately this breaks the code for my use as the application I'm using these code snippets in REQUIRES absolute local addressing.

Software should NEVER assume it knows what you want UNLESS you set a pref telling it so. There should be a user pref or someway to override this behavior. I bought CCup as a lite weight HTML editor that I keep on my email machine. It's a shame that for something as simple as these 15 line code snippets I ended up having go to the office and use Dreamweaver (which by the way lets me choose between absolute and relative addressing)

i guess you get what you pay for

You're still complaining in a forum that is for users like yourself. If you suspect there is a bug, or some problem with the program, you need to open a support topic with CoffeeCup and let one of the Tech guys answer your question. Just go to the top menu and under your name look for 'Your Support Room' and post a support topic. You'll probably get an answer a lot quicker.

Did you try what I suggested?
