When I try to preview my website and click on a link I get the "problem loading page" error which reads
"File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /c:/documents and settings/administrator/my documents/web easy/temp/preview_029.htm.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
Try Again"
When clicking a link which links to a website it goes to the website fine. It only screws up on the internal links. A connection issue also happens in explorer with internal links.
What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you are selecting "preview all pages" under properties from the BUILD/Preveiw menu. If you are only using "preview current page" your internal links wont work right, externals will always work so long as your connected to the internet at the time.

Dave is right here. But your HTML links will not work within your site until after you have uploaded, published, your site. So if you are trying to click on your HTML links within your pages and they are pointing to your page URL's than it won't work until after you have uploaded them.

With Internet Explorer, you can upload just the page your working on and your links will continure to work as long as you have built your entire website prior to building just that page.

For example: Today I will build a preview of my entire site. Tommorrow I will build a new page and select build preview of current page. I can check the outgoing links to my other pages from the new page but the old pages will not have links to my new page, so you will have to use the back button. Now with Firefox I am not sure if it doesn't hold the information like IE does. Others on here have more experience with FireFox and will be able to let you know that.

I hope that helps,
