Link syntax and navigation buttons

Post by Robofac »

I have a banner at the top of my comic (http://robofac.comicgenesis.com), that I want to link back to the frontpage. I know for images in HTML the syntax is "/images/...", but how does that work with links to other webpages on one's CG site? I've gotten the link on the frontpage to work by having the it lead to "/index.html", but on the archive pages, the link leads to "http://robofac.comicgenesis.com/d/robof ... enesis.com".

There is one exception to this problem, which is the page for the first comic. On that page the link leads to "http://robofac.comicgenesis.com/index.html" and does work.

I'm using Adobe GoLive 6.0 to edit my webpages, if that helps.

Also, my next_day_ghosted.png nav button doesn't show up on my frontpage, despite having the tag in place. And yes, the filename is spelled correctly! :wink:

Your header link seems to work fine for me, I guess you got it working. Remember that when you're working links in your dailytemplate.html to put the "/" before your links so that it goes to your root before anywhere else, because your archived pages are within a folder.

Also, the ***next_day*** tag seems to have some problems on the index. You'll have to just hardcode it.

Is the dailytemplate.html page basically the same as your index page but showing your previous comics? If so, this may be the solution to my problem. My new indextemplate page shows the newest comic, but the navigation buttons don't work and when you look up old comics on my site, they are displayed on the plain default index page I had before I redesigned my page.
