Hi

 

In Dreamweaver 8 is it possible to change a setting or something so all links created refer to the absolute path, rather than relative to that document?

 

So, all links should be created with the http://www.sitename.com/ and not just /pagename.com

 

Thanks

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8? Good old times.

 

By default Dreamweaver works with document relative paths. If you want to work with site root relative paths, you'll have to configure it when you define a site. I really think it works like this since version 8.

Lol yh, bit confused with dreamweaver as I rarely use it, just a client insists on using it!!

 

I did try that, define site, then go to advanced and click site root relative but all it really did was place a "/" at the beginning. It didn't give the desired http://www.sitename beforehand.

 

There is a setting in dreamweaver for paths to be relative to the root, rather than the current working location.

 

Hence:

 

../images/logo.png

 

Becomes:

/images/logo.png.

 

It can be found in the site manager settings

Yes, I found that but the client wants the full 'absolute' path including the http://www.sitename.com/ not just the document or folder name
