What to replace localhost with, in link??

[PopcornBuzzard]

Have a silly question here...

I have an include file that has a link like this:

<a href=&quot;//localhost/WebProject/ProductGeneral/FirstPage.asp&quot;> Go there! </a>

I am getting ready to ftp it to our web hosting company's web server. How would I change the link above to work on their web server?

Like this, since, say,

http://www.website.com

is our domain name?

<a href=&quot;//

http://www.website.com/ProductGeneral/FirstPage.asp&quot;>

Go there! </a>

You can use referential linking. You don't need to explicitly define a domain name.

for example. If

www.website.com

is the address of the home page, and you wanted to make a link to a subfolder of that page, you can write the href like this:

href=&quot;subfolder/page.html&quot;

I'm not sure where it happens, but the browser or server automatically translates that line to &quot;

http://www.myserver.com/subfolder/page.html&quot;

The only time you need to explicitly define the server name is if you are linking from outside that domain.
