Linking and site root problem

please give a url for some of these pages?

and- in the first post you mentioned three folders for the three languages.
Question:
Is this defined as ONE site in dreamweaver, or as Three different sites?

That would make since for most of the links, especally the images used in the
navbars, but like the banner images aren't being update and niether are the
links at the bottom of the page which are regular text links. I don't think
it
work for any links.

As long as it matches your computer

ex.
computer folders a/b/c
website folders a/b/c

lets say the images are in computer a you can't mvoe them to website c without
dreamweaver doing it for you or by changing the code by hand.

If everything is in the same folder (lets say everythings in "a") then you
would just have your FTP upload folder "a" and everyhing inside will follow.

Dreamweaver will not find any links embedded in javascript. Of course it's
true. It's true for the MM pop-up menus, and it's true for any
all-javascript menu system. Sheesh. Please read what I am saying before
you respond. 8)

If you want to update those links, you will have to do it manually.

Thats not true murray with a good javascript menu all you have to do is
update the 1 javascript file and it updates EVERY page.

Highlighting folders, and dragging and dropping within DW's file manager
WILL update all the links it can find. If you are seeing otherwise, then
please show me the files so I can reproduce it.

That is probably were I went wrong, I just highlighted all the folders and
draged and dropped them.

I will go in and try draging and dropping every html file.

The image files shouldn't matter, or would they?

I have the site defined as one site in dreamweaver.

the website is www.crownbattery.com

Right now it is set up like this

/index.html - homepage
/products/products.html - products page
/support/support.html - support page
etc... for the rest of the pages

In dreamweaver I created the folder EN
/EN
will create the SP and FR folders after I move the site into the EN folder
just to make it easier to navigate and move the folders.

and want to move all other folders except /index.html into the EN(english)
folder and then create a SP and FR folder to duplicate the site in these
folders and change the language along with all the graphics with text in them
to there corrisponding language. So it will look like this

/index.html - home page with links to the each langauges home page
/EN/index.html
/EN/products/products.html
/EN/support/support.html
etc

right now all the folders and files except the index.html file are in the EN
folder but all the links still point to different pages like
/products/products.html instead it should point to EN/products/products.html

I am doing all the dragging and dropping in dreamweaver and dragged and
dropped all the folders at the same time.

Sry murray missunderstanding I stand by my Javascript Menus I mean that all
that goes into dreamweaver is a link that tells it were the script goes... not
even the script itself goes in there if not it's be a pain in the... you know
what!

I'm not sure whats wrong maybe murray can be of more assistence.

so this is one of the pages, where it is on the remote server-
http://www.crownbattery.com/products/products.html

you have moved that to /EN folder, that only exists locally for now?

don't know if it's the cause of the problem- but there's 6 opening <!-- html
comments in the head section, and only one // --> closer bracket.

suggestion-
Open the F8 site manager.
delete the file from /EN/products/products.html in your local site.
connect to server, and GET the /products/products.html file.
Once it's in the local side of the Site Manager, take the mouse and the
/products/ folder into the /EN folder.

1- Do you get a Prompt to let DW update the links?
2- do you click Yes??
3- open the file from the new location in the /EN folder.
Do a link check on it- are the links correct?

Yes,

sorry all of this is still local right now.

DW did ask me if i wanted to update the files and I said yes and it went
through its deal of updating them.

I am going to do one folder at a time right now and see what happens.

I will get back with the results

ok, i dragged and dropped each folder seperately from the root folder to the EN
folder and it took a lot longer to update which was a good thing but some of
the links did not update. And some time s when i would click update there
would be links that DW couldn't update.

What should I do. Is there a better way to devide the site up to seperate the
different languages?

There is no way I am going in there and changing all the links.

I'm guessing you should open each folder and save as to the other folder that should work... doing that 1 by 1 rather then doing it by hand would be a real time saver.
