Hi,
I am at my local collage and am learning to make a web page by writing HTML in notepad.
I have a link on my page that I want to open a Word document, my line is:-
<p>This is my entire work history so far <a href ="file:///newcv.doc"> Ian's CV</a>
The link is there but doesnt work, can sombody help me.
Jump to Post<a href ="file:///newcv.doc"> Ian's CV</a>
The above line will not work.
You should give something as
<a href ="http://youmachinename/SomeFolder/Filename.EXT"> Ian's CV</a>
Jump to Post<a href ="file:///newcv.doc"> Ian's CV</a>
File from your computer not work

<a href ="file:///newcv.doc"> Ian's CV</a>
The above line will not work.

Is it required that you use an absolute path? If not, I recommend using a relative path. It's just less icky.

ur not suppes to have a space its supposed to be <a href="">text</a>
The file has to be on the server. Nothing else can find a file that is saved on your own computer.
yes you need an absolute path in other words not coming from your drive but a web address upload the file to a domain via ftp then link from there as stated above if you link from your hard drive when other try to view it it wont be on thier harddrive
