Links don't work

I create a web page on the HD and then upload it to the ISPs 'Homepage' site which, in my case, is:<br />
<br />
home.twcny.rr.com/suecortland <br />
<br />
<br />
I am making an assumption, perhaps invalid, that links, created on the HD should work without modifications when uploaded to the 'Homepage' site. For instance, a link on the HD to;<br />
<br />
Photos/Students1914.htm <br />
<br />
<br />
I create as:<br />
<br />
/Photos/Students1914.htm <br />
<br />
<br />
But here is what I find to actually exist at the 'Homepage':<br />
<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://home.twcny.rr.com/Photos/Students1914.htm">http://home.twcny.rr.com/Photos/Students1914.htm</a><!-- m --> <br />
<br />
It leaves out the "suecortland" even thoough that is what I am logged on to.<br />
<br />
Will I actually have to create the link as:<br />
<br />
/suecortland/Photos/Students1914.htm <br />
<br />
Or is there a way around this so that the HD links would work when uploaded anywhere?<br />
<br />
Here is the full path to my web page:<br />
<br />
My Home Page (home.twcny.rr.com/suecortland/Barnhart.htm)<br />
Look under :Students>Students 1914<!--content-->This ia a link:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://home.twcny.rr.com/Web/Photos/Students1931.htm">http://home.twcny.rr.com/Web/Photos/Students1931.htm</a><!-- m --><br />
Is there a directory called Web?<br />
:rocker:<!--content-->All my files and folders are on the HD under "WEB". But when I upload them, I do not send "WEB" but only what in "WEB". So "WEB" does not exist at the "HOMEPAGE" site. (or at least it shouldn't).<!--content-->did you fix it? they work ok for me<!--content-->This really puzzles me to hear that they work for you. There are 25 links to photos and documents and NONE of them work for me!!!<!--content-->you might be using a old cached page. try holding (ctlr) key and the hit refresh. or delete all of your temp internet files and reload the page.<br />
<br />

I beleive you went back to far in your ../ try taking 1 out and it will / should work<!--content-->After a week struggling with this beast, I finally got it. It requires only a single "../". That is what I put in, using Front Page Express; couldn't get it to work. Found out the FPE was sticking one or two extra "../" in there. Went to Arach and it worked out fine. Someone else told me to do that, but I really didn't know what had to go in there. Now I know only a single "../" like:<br />
<br />
../Photos/Students1914.htm <br />
<br />
I tried Arach with 1,2,3 and 4 "../" and found easily which one works. Damm FPE has a mind of its own. Thanks all for your replies.<br />
<br />
Thanks all.<!--content-->you finally got it? gee your welcome. that is what I told you to do. and that is what you get if you use FrontPage.<!--content-->
