Relative links in Templates

[fasta]

I have created 3 templates that will be used for each employee's pages.
The folder hierarchy is:
Department
->Employee Name
->Project number.

So, I have a department template, and employee template and a project template to make the index pages for each folder.

The problem comes in the navigation links. I want there to be a "Department Home" button on the Employee Name index page and on the Project number index page. The problem is that I just want the link to go up one or two levels relative to the Document (as I have several departments). When I put in the "../index.html" to go up a level, it reads that as going up a level from the Templates folder. I want it to be relative from the resultant document, not from the template.

I am pulling my hair out. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Dreamweaver should adjust that when the template is used. Did you try the actual template out in an department folder?

When creating the relative link in the template use one of the "browse" type options instead of trying to type in the link info. This will ensure that DW will know how to handle the relative links when you create pages from the template. No matter where you save them in your file structure.

I hope this helps - if you have not already found an answer.
