Hello.
I am working on an intranet site. On this particular page, that would have a
lot of links, I decided to use pop ups. Some of the links will go to other
intranet pages, so I can type in the url (the url links are working). I want
some of the links to pull up documents [that will be stored with the web files
in the network folder, in subfolders...].

I found a post on here with a similar issue:

[i]my pop up menu links are failing. If I place an existing web address like
www.google.com or com other website I can get them to work but when I place the
directory and file name of a page on my site (
X:\directory1\subdirectory\filename.htm) I can't seem to get them to work. Is
there a specific format the file name has to be in to get the menus to work?
It's driving me crazy. [/i]

and this was the reply

[i]are you using a template? I had the same problem and had to do this:
instead of this folder/file.html
I had to do this ../folder/fole.html
if you are using a template it is thinking that your files are in the template
directory, so you actuall have to back out of the directory in order to access
the files [/i]

which I found insightful. I have tried "backing out" and see the difference
( instead of getting nothing or error on page. I now can tell the the computer
is looking for the file in the link, the results are "page cannot be
displayed").I think I am headed in the right direction, but I haven't figured
out how to fill in the location so that my links work.
FYI, I am using fireworks and dreamweaver. So instead working on the graphics
(fw) file, I decided to just experiment with the code directly using dw.

Can any add more?
Thanks
