Greetings, anyone who takes the time to read this message! I need hep with the most basic directory navigation. It seems that what I code in HTML is quite simple. When I need to jump from one directory (or folder) to another, I code as follows: <a href="abc/index.htm">subdirectory</a> <a href="../index.htm">parent directory</a> <a href="../xyz/index.htm">parallel directory</a> These will take me to, respectively, a subdirectory of the current level directory; the parent directory of the current level directory; a "parallel" directory at the same directory level as the current level directory. The advantage is that I can test my setup locally, then upload the same directory structure to the Internet and have it perform identically. These instructions work fine in Internet Explorer, but I understand that this is not the case with Netscape, according to two friends of mine who use Netscape at work. What happens is the "index.htm" file is retrieved, but the default directory does not change to the new location, thus any JPGs, GIFs or other hyperlinks referred to in that HTM file will not be located or displayed. For example, if the browser was pointed at a folder called: www.abc.com/subdir1/index.htm And the following hyperlink was followed: ../subdir2/index.htm In Internet Explorer, this would change the default directory to "subdir2" and correctly locate and display and files referred to in the HTM file that are located in "subdir2". In Netscape, "subdir1" would remain the default directory, thus a file that was referred to in the HTM source that was located in "subdir2" would not be found or displayed. The result is that pages come up with broken links replacing images, and hyperlinks result in "404 not found" messages. Sorry about the long winded explanation; I'm sure it's not necessary to someone who knows the first thing about normal directory navigation under DOS, UNIX, etc. and what a "default directory" means. What is the solution? Any clues? I mean, this is such a basic requirement, it's not like I'm trying to do some exotic Java trick for directory navigation! I do not have Netscape installed for testing purposes, but I guess I'll have to if I can't get a simple answer. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Kind regards from Australia, Ian Fieggen ;-)
