From: Ishrat Khan on 11 Mar 2010 16:26 I am totally new to FrontPage 2003 but wish to continue creating a site in it. Can anyone advise on the following: 1. Whether I should buy a domain name and start hosting as soon as I start or should I wait until I have completed the website on my local computer and then publish the site 2. I have created a strip of moving (right to left) images in Flash5...each one being a button and if clicked on should open up an individual web page with a large version of that button image. This means having linked each image to a unique URL taken from the preview. But will this link remain when the site is published or are the links likely to be lost.....as the URL was only a test and not really hosted? 3. Which is the best place to buy a domain name for life? Your help is appreciated. Many thanks ishrat

Hi Ishrat, A relative link basically means that the link that is in the Flash Movie you made goes to a page that is inside your web. If you wanted to link to a page called flashlarger.htm for example..the link in the Flash Movie would say exactly that. (flashlarger.htm) then when you publish the web to a host..that link will still work. An absolute link would be something like http://somesite.com/somepage.htm Personally I use GoDaddy for all domains I register..and as Tom said get your domain name as soon as possible. -- Best, Joe FrontPage and Expression Web Forums: http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum/default.asp "Ishrat Khan" <IshratKhan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8BBE7CF6-450C-44C5-AC88-7E6A996A1714(a)microsoft.com... > A relative link?
