preview- will not find link file

[Kamm]

All I want to do for now is start out small by linking a picture to a html file and have it display in a new window. I have a home page and have picture links. Example - A picture with the text over it reading BACKDROPS. I want this picture to link to a jpg file. In the future I want it to link to a html file created by Lightroom. This is what I did. Right click on picture. link-file-browsed-found file in pictures/backdrops/backdrop-3.jpg. When I preview and click on link nothing happens. The browser (IE) at bottom, reads file\\\c:user\documents\Web%20Easy\temp\backdrop-3.jpg.

I thought that it was something with %20 But at the top of my page I click on contact us and it sends me to the correct page, and the link still has %20

Hi,
The %20 appears because you had put spacing between the words. If you change the spacing to either "_" underscore or "-" dash, the %20 will be gone. But of course your words will appear like e.g. My_Pictures_3

Hope this helps.

I had the same results just now when I tried to do the same thing you're talking about, however, I saved and exported the page to HTML and then tested the index.html file and now the file/image works. Seems like it won't work in preview mode.

Thanks I will give it a try.
