Working with URLs 165 About absolute and relative URLs When you enter a URL in the URL panel, you can enter an absolute or relative URL: · If you are linking to a web page that is beyond your own website, you must use an · absolute URL. If you are linking to a web page within your website, you can use an absolute URL or a relative URL. Absolute URLs are complete URLs that include the server protocol, which is usually http:// for web pages. For example, http://www. macromedia. com/support/fireworks is the absolute URL for the Macromedia Fireworks Support web page. Absolute URLs remain accurate regardless of the location of the source document, but they do not link correctly if the target document is moved. Relative URLs are relative to the folder containing the source document. These examples show the navigation syntax of relative URLs: · file. htm links to a file located in the same folder as the source document. · . . /. . /file. htm links to a file located in the folder two levels above the folder containing the source document. Each . . / represents one level. · htmldocs/file. htm links to a file located in a folder named htmldocs, which is in the folder containing the source document. Relative URLs are usually the simplest ones to use for links to files that will always remain in the same folder as the current document. Importing and exporting URLs If the URL panel contains URLs that you want to use again in other Fireworks documents, you can export them for later use. [. . . ] For information on locating this folder, see your operating system documentation. Note: The names of some system folders may vary on localized and customized systems. About master configuration files that affect all users Master configuration files that affect all users are located in the Fireworks application folder, which is the location on your hard disk where you installed Fireworks. Note: Many configuration files are stored in subfolders within the Fireworks application folder. Also, Macintosh users should be familiar with the package concept from Apple. For more information see "Viewing package contents (Macintosh only)" on page 287. Whether you're on a multiuser or a single-user system, Fireworks changes your user-specific configuration files and not the master configuration files in the Fireworks application folder when you save most settings. This is because many users don't have access to all files if they are on multiuser systems. [. . . ]
