How do I get my navigation button links to actually link together? I have the url entered that I want it to go to, but it only says "page not found" when you try to click the navigation button?

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
Hey saggi,
Thanks for the tutorial link, but I was already doing all that stuff. My trouble isn't with creating the navigation button, or even with where to enter the url or target information for it. My trouble is that for some reason.... it's not using the information that i'm giving it, and I'm not sure why.Dawnee

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
hi juda,
ok.. so here's the domain name i have http://www.fls-riders.com . I have only built one of the target pages thus far. That page is "roster". I have entered the target url as http://www.fls-riders.com/roster.html . Is this correct?Dawnee

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
OH, and I published that particular link page too... Am I supposed to put something in the "target" field? I have put the url link in the url field, and filled in the name for ppl to see. I've also filled in an alternate name field (for the users that can't see the buttons to use)--I've found too that filling in this causes it not to change color when you mouse over it, any suggestions on that?? I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to do anything with the target field... the one that says "_self, _parent", etc. Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.Dawnee

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
Okay, so on that page... it links to the home page good. The home page doesn't link to that page good. Could it be because the url is called http://www.fls-riders.com/Roster.html and not http://www.fls-riders.com/roster.html ? I have the link set up for the second, but the page seems to be set up for the first?Dawnee

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
Hi, if http://www.fls-riders.com/Roster.html
is the correct link. Then change the link on the home page to this & not
Its best to get into the habit of doing all urls in lower case for all your naming of pages & links to the page.
There are other reasons for this, but wont drive you mad with the reasons.

Re: Linking with Navigation Buttons
OK..Time to take a deep breath and relax, LOL! Sometimes these linking problems can really have you going around in circles, (I done a few round-a-bouts myself!).
What has happened, is that you "published" the Roster page with a capital "R". It is a good practice to get into the habit of not using caps or spaces in your file names and linking! So, do an "open file" in your BV, but when the window opens showing all your files; right click on "Roster" file and select "rename". Rename it to "roster". Now, open it into BV and "publish" it. This will make the nav button on your home page work! Be sure to check any other links to "roster" page that they don't have the capital "R".
Sorry Chris...I'm too slow again!! LOL
