Links gone wrong

Continuing on from my last thread on my website

www.freewebs.com/ashots - you'll see the problem if you navigate away from the home page and try the links on other pages.

<a href="./how it works/how_it_works.html" with some jargon after it, that does some fancy stuff and has the </a> at the very end

All well and good, but on any page but the home page, the link adress displayed and trying to navigate to is:

http://www.freewebs.com/ashots/photos/how_it_works.html - the how stuff works.html file is located in /ashots/how it works/

This happens with any links except on the home page. Any ideas, i have attached two files with the two pages code in them, the menu code is pointed out by (menu code starts here -->>)
Attached Files
File Type: txt index code works.txt (7.7 KB, 1 views)
File Type: txt photospagedosentwork.txt (31.7 KB, 0 views)

Re: Links gone wrong

Try this:

Remove the . in <a href="./how it works/how_it_works.html"> so it's just <a href="/how it works/how_it_works.html">

Re: Links gone wrong

Don't ever put spaces in your file or folder names. There are a few browsers that can handle them, but most add stuff (like %20) in place of the space, and others can't find anything after a space.

If you don't like all lower case filenames, likethisismypage.htm try CamelCase, like ThisIsMyPage.htm

Re: Links gone wrong

WOW, this is very perculiar, didnt do anything, tried your suggestion dai, didnt work, then tried putting "ashots/thefilename.html" didnt work. Eventually tried again what i had used initally and it worked. So i'm back at square one and it works. Thats page 1 done, now to do the others, i'll report back if it crops up again when editing other pages!
