I am new to the distinguished club of domain owners. To-day, after I uploaded my website project "Orgel1" I get the home page, but the links to the four subject pages seem to be wrong, or the stuff is not there on the Sky drive, which I find hard to believe. It all works on my computer.

There is something wrong with my implementation of "Thickbox", but that does not bother me at this moment.

Also, something seems to be missing for "mailto" to work.
Surely, the problem is some small omission or something of that sort, please help me find out.

@Johann - Hello Johann, I believe it's because you are trying to link a folder file, when it should just be, something like this
examples..
<a href="index.html"></a>
<a href="about.html></a>

Should just be a link directly to your .html files. You don't need all that folder linking.

Also, that missing image on the main page is caused by linking to the wrong file name. You are referencing http://www.organjohann.net/images/P1020446.JPG but it should be http://www.organjohann.net/images/P1020446.jpg (lower case jpg).

Check the links to make sure they are exactly where they are located online. I'm guessing you have not uploaded the files to the same directories that are listed in the menu. Also, keep in mind that you have the ../ in front of each menu item and that's telling the menu to go up a directory and then look for the files. I'm guessing you just don't have the directory structure correctly setup or the menu doesn't reflect the actual structure. Go through that and see what's different.

Hi, guys, thanks for the quick reaction!
I went through the linking structure once more, and, the failure was that I included the project name:

Orgel1/english/index.html

As soon as i removed that, all these work:
"./english/index.html"
"/english/index.html"
"english/index.html"

Any opinion in what is best?

Thanks again,
Organjohann

Go with straight text and no .. or / unless they are referring to pages inside a different directory. As long as that is the page your domain points to then you're set to go. So if all of your site pages are in the main root directory of your site then go with:

"english/index.html"

The dots and slashes usually represent directory structure so when you use:

../

That means go up one directory and then find the files represented in the path.

IF there is no reason for the "english" directory, other than to give the pages a place to be, then you should move those pages to the Root directory of your domain (public_html in most cases) to keep the process simple. The only time people really need to move the actual web HTML pages to a directory is to organize them. I'll assume you have them in multiple languages since the directory is called "english", but if that's not the case and it's not organizing them, then it would be easiest to move them to the main directory of the site and reference them without the "english" in the pathway. Obviously if they are organized, just ignore this part of the advice :)

Thanks, Jo Ann. I'll follow your advice. Organization is exactly what I was trying to achieve.
