FP98: Relative Hyperlinks Converted to Absolute Hyperlinks (182674)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q182674

SYMPTOMS

When you use FrontPage Editor alone (without FrontPage Explorer running) and create a relative hyperlink, the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code is saved as an absolute hyperlink.

CAUSE

When you use FrontPage Editor while FrontPage Explorer is not running, FrontPage Editor converts the relative hyperlink into an absolute hyperlink.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior and create relative hyperlinks, run FrontPage Explorer while you edit your page in FrontPage Editor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
