Why doesn’t the link to my home page bring up my home web page?
Why doesn’t the link to a biography page bring up the biography web page?
Chances are you have not specified a proper relative folder path for your home page or biography pages. GED-GEN assumes relative paths for the links on the web pages it generates. Once you transfer your web pages to your website at your Internet Service Provider (ISP), an absolute folder path would probably not work.
For instance if you specify your home page file as “\public_html\index.html,” GED-GEN will generate a link using that path and file. However at your ISP, the “public_html” folder may really be “\users\account\yourname\public_html.”
A relative folder path is always relative to the destination folder you specify on the Files tab in GED-GEN. Thus if your destination folder is “C:\public_html\groups” and your home page is in “C:\public_html,” the proper relative path is “..\index.html.” The link on a web page in “\public_html\groups” would move up one folder to find “index.html.” This link will work on your computer and also after you transfer your web pages to your ISP.
The easiest way to specify a relative path is to click Browse next to the input field where you specify a folder or file name. This assumes you have already specified a destination folder.
