how to do absolute urls in dreamweaver?

Asked by ITatES in Web Authoring, Page Layout / Desktop Publishing Software

Tags: , , ,

Hi,

I have an html page which has links and images which are supposed to link to documents and images on a server.  However, the html page itself doesn't go on the server, rather it gets emailed.  So it needs absolute links to those images and documents.  I've set up a site using "manage site" feature in dreamweaver.  As well, I have a local folder which corresponds to the exact folder on the server.  This local folder has all these documents and images and the html page itself.  So in dreamweaver, when creating links, all I do is select these local documents and images, and dreamweaver creates relative links.  I want it to append the absolute path to all the urls, but I can' t seem to find out how.  So for example if my link is /blah/blah2/blah.pdf,  I want it to prepend http://www.blah.com/blah/blah2/blah.pdf.

Can anyone help?Start Free Trial
