Could someone plz help? I have just started working on a dating website, I've uploaded my site and now I'm trying to link a privacy page that I created in notepad. The link shows up on my homepage, but I can't access it.I'm kind of new to this and really need some help. I tried putting <A HREF="privacy policy.html">Privacy Policy</A>...I then tried <A HREF="C:\Documents and Settings\owner\desktop\privacy policy.html">Privacy Policy</A> I saved the privacy page to my desk top, but it also shows up on my remote server. Can you plz help? Thx Kim

Do you have both pages on the same server?

your syntax is wrong...

the link needs to look like this:

<a href="privacypolicy.html">Privacy</a>

You can not include any spaces in your file name...and you can not link from the World Wide Web to a file sitting on your computer, at least, not if you want the person accessing your site to see it. And, make sure the privacy policy page is in the same directory as your homepage when you upload it to your website.

Instead of space you can use underscore ( _ ), or if you do have spaces in your filenames then replace them with %20 in your urls.

Also don't ever use absolute url (like www.mysite.com/file.html), if you move your site you'll have to edit each link, use relavite urls (file.html).
