links displaying correctly live, not locally (preview)

Thanks both of you. I will start fixing the issues you mention Murray and
I'll look again at the pvii tutorials. I have found them useful I must say
but learnt a lot while doing what I've done so far. In the meantime... any
thoughts on the original question? Live fine, not preview?

Hummm well suckerfish doesnt work cross-browser.

I would go to http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/index.htm

and work through 'simple' and 'positioned' pop-up menus.

Your page is strange....

<td valign="top"><h2><img

<h2><br />

Your content is between <h2> tags - why?

Your behavior is inappropriately applied to the <img> tag - it should be
applied to a link around the <img> tag. Also, you have misused the alt
attribute. So change this -

<img src="/images/view_from_castle_small.jpg" alt="view of Pantelli from
castle. Click to see in new window" width="300" height="225" hspace="5"
vspace="5" border="0" align="right" id="Pantelli_from_the_Castle"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/images/view_from_castle.jpg','Pantelli','resizable=yes,wi dth=700,height=500')"
/>

to this -

<a href="/images/view_from_castle_small.jpg" target="_blank" title="view of
Pantelli from castle. Click to see in new window"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/images/view_from_castle.jpg','Pantelli','resizable=yes,wi dth=700,height=500');return
false;" ><img src="/images/view_from_castle_small.jpg" alt="view of Pantelli
from castle." width="300" height="225" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="0"
align="right" id="Pantelli_from_the_Castle" /></a>

and that will work better (except for the deprecated attributes in the <img>
tag).

As for your original question, it's normal. When you preview a page in DW,
all of the page elements are handed to the browser. When you click away
from the previewed page, you depend on the browser to assemble the elements,
and if you have used root relative links (and you have), the browser will
begin looking in the root of the hard drive (not the root of the site, since
it doesn't have a clue about DW sites). Ergo - no linked files....

I would just use <p> tags and style them as needed. Reserve the use of <h#>

If you change the root relative links to document relative links you will
(should) be able to successfully click away from a previewed page.
