DW problem with absolute/relative paths

**Lemmy** · 01-01-2005, 02:12 PM

Due to my ignorance I inadvertently changed a setting in DW and don't know how to get things back the way they were.

Whenever I insert an image on an HTML page DW now links it using the absolute path on my computer which obviously is no good when I upload the page. How can I get it back to linking with relative paths, i.e. ../images/picture01.jpg?

you could always change it in HTML.

Thats a try?

hello

just define new folder for the webpages you are creaing using manage sites tab

Yeah, I'm changing the code manually right now, which is a ***** if you have many images.

The thing is this now seems to be the default behavior in my installation of DW, so I'm not looking for a quick fix for whatever I'm currently working on, but how to get DW to behave "normally".

maybe you could reinstall DW and see if that would work!

I just did that and everything's fine. Damned if I know what happened...
