I created a technical support document on my home pc and then saved it to a disk. The file paths for all my documents and pictures is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Technical Training\PDF\Vista-15P.pdf">Vista-15P Schematic

when I try to run the disk from a another computer the main folder is D:\Technical Training\training.html this in turn causes all of my other links to be broken. Is there a way to shorten or change the path names to my links so they will work on any computer?

The HTML document is in a folder called Technical Training the the PDF's and Pictures in a files called PDF and Pictures which are in the main folder Technical Training. Any help is appreciated.

Is this HTML file going on a Web server or your personal pc ??

If on a server, you need to put the docs in a folder on the server and link to them using a relative path.

No these disk will be used on local PC's no webpage usage or anything like that. I am just trying to figure out how to make a commom path that will allow them to work on whosever PC they run in on.

Ok.. gotcha.. you're going to put these on CD.

If I were going to do this, I would put the html file in one folder and then make a subfolder underneath it for all the documents.

In your html file your links to those documents would be like this:
<a href="documents/xxxxxxxx.pdf">PDF name</a>

Does that help?

I figured it out. my mistake was using the entire file path, unfortunately the file path in my code pointed to drive C: on my pc. I replaced the first half of the file path with two .. (periods) so the only part of the path left was the folder name(Technical Training) then the sub-folder (PDF) and finally the file name (Vista-15P.pdf) so it looks like this now:

<a href="..\Technical Training\PDF\Vista-15P.pdf">Vista-15P Installation Manual</a>

Hope this might help others. Thanks for the responses Ladynred

YW
It's called a relative path.
