Template behavior problem

message from Tine Müller on 16 Jul 2004

When you click on "Se her!" (sidste_nyt.html) from dwt
http://www.tinemuller.dk/baadfarten/Templates/baadfarten_index.dwt the
window open with the behavior
but if you click on the children's pages
http://www.tinemuller.dk/baadfarten/index.html it doesn't work. :-(

<td width="31%" valign="middle">Sidste nyt - <a href="javascript:; "
onClick="Lvl_openWin('../sidste_nyt.html','','400','300','0','0','1','width=
400,height=300')">Se
her !</a><br>

What have I done wrong, please help?

Try linking to that file using root relative links. The problem is this -
since you have used a 3rd party behavior, DW is not recognizing that link
and is not managing it in the template child pages.

In other words, in the Template, change this -

Lvl_openWin('../sidste_nyt.html'

to this -

Lvl_openWin('/baadfarten/sidste_nyt.html'

and see what happens.

It's functioning, thanks. But will it also be ok when I'm finished with the
site and are uploading it to my customer's webhotel?

If the folder structure is exactly the same, yes, it will work fine.

I only tested the site offline and when I uploaded the site the links are
not functioning. :-(
Do I have to make the link absolute
http://www.tinemuller.dk/baadfarten/sidste_nyt.html to functioning and then
remember to change the address when uploading to the customer?

recognizing that

What do you mean with "3rd party behavior"? Is there a site where I can read
about this problem?

*If your local and your remote sites have the identical structure from root
level down* and *if your root relative links work locally*, then they will
work remotely.

No.

3rd party behavior is one by someone other than Macromedia.

Here's an example of what I mean. If you apply an OpenBrowserWindow
behavior to a page, it won't matter where you save that page in your site's
folder hierarchy, because DW knows how to find "MM_openBrWindow" so that it
can adjust the link to the specified page. But if you would change the call
on the event from "MM_openBrWindow" to "openBrWindow" then DW will not find
the link, and will not manage it (I think).
