SYMPTOMS
If you edit broken hyperlinks in the Verify Hyperlinks dialog in Microsoft
FrontPage, your corrections are not saved.
CAUSE
This problem may occur after you import a directory or web that contains
links to corresponding files that are located above the root directory of
the Web server.
For example:
If you are using Internet Information Server, the default root directory
of the web server is the following path:
c:\InetPub\Wwwroot
Hyperlinks that are located in C:\InetPub\ or higher in the directory
structure will be broken.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Importing Files
When you import files, make sure that the destination of your hyperlink
is located below the root directory of the Web server (then you
may rearrange the files once they are imported into the FrontPage web).
Method 2: Editing Hyperlinks
If you have hyperlinks to content located higher in the file path
than the root directory of the Web server, follow these steps:
- In the Broken Hyperlink view, click Edit Page.
- Fix the link by editing the link in FrontPage Editor.
