OK so I have everything uploaded to my server and I have went through the pages to make sure everything works the way they're suppose to and the only problem I have is that when I hover over a link it shows its path example c:/Documents and Settings/ blah blah blah blah. Instead I want it to show up to www.adelphia.net (by the way is my server you know the free ones you get from your ISP) So how do I accomplish this. I don't want people seeing the actual path that I have on my computer when ever they hover over a link. I hope I didn't make this sound confusing but another example is this. Take you mouse and hover over the B for the bold font and then look down at the bottom left and you see the path http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums.newthread.php?do=newthread&f=20# this is what I want my site to show when you hover over a link except it should be http://www.adelphia.net since this is my server. I just to know what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix it.

Thank You

sounds like you've coded it incorrectly.

If you are using Absolute paths then use the web address in your links
<a href="http://www.adelphia.net/page.htm">link</a>

or use Relative links
<a href="page.htm">link</a>

By using Relative links when you upload the pages the server will automatically insert the web address.
