Background
I recently started to clean up an old site that I made a year ago and is on my HD. Since it's creation I have moved the site file to a different location and upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3. Though I updated all the links when moving the file, and manually changed any that gave me issues (such as a few image links) I am having issues when linking to pages.
Problem
I have a Template made which the whole site is made from. While previewing the site, (say the home page for example), I can click on a link in the navigation bar (which is a part of the Template) and get to any one of my other pages in the site. However every time I try to access another page in my site from the nav bar, it comes back unfindable.
The interesting part is that if I click on a link that is NOT a part of the template before I try the nav bar the second time, I can then use the nav bar once more before it kicks back an unfindable. Basically so long as I keep alternating links from one created in the template to one created in the actual page, I can run through the site fine. The first time I try to use a template link twice though, it fails.
Observations
In Dreamweaver I have tried using the "drag and drop" method for the page links, and I have also tried manually typing them in. Neither works.
I think the problem is with my folder structure or the way the link is worded...
My folder structure looks like this:
SiteFolder
>Templates
>>newTemplate
>Pages
>>home
>>links
>>aboutUs
>>profiles
>>ourWork
>Images
>>image1
>>image2
>>etc...
For every link, I have the tag:
../Pages/(pageName).html
so that it should work from a the template folder OR the pages folder.
Every time i get the error message, the folder address is simply incorrect. It reads:
/SiteFolder/Pages/Pages/(pageName).html
Chances are I am overlooking something painfully obvious that i will cry on the inside when I find out how simple it really is, but any help or ideas are appreciated.
