    Default HELP paths from user created folder?????

    I am setting up a Contribute site for a client, as i have done many time
    before. I have looked through alot of documentation and technotes on paths but
    have found nothing that refers to this problem.

    Problem in short: As a contribute user, When I save a new file (made from a
    template) into a new folder, which i make when I save, it changes all links.
    But i want the links to go to new pages in that new subfolder.

    EG. So if I make a new page called 'default.aspx' and save it into a new
    folder called 'subfolder'. thats fine, although on that default.aspx file there
    are links that go to pages that will be in that new folder ie. resources.aspx,
    which is already defined in the dreamweaver template <a
    href="resources.aspx">Resources</a>. However, on publish, contribute converts
    the link to <a href="../resources.aspx">Resources</a>. The only time it wont
    convert is when I am publishing again to that same folder, it default saves to
    the last folder saved to and wont change the paths this way.

    Is there something I can set in dreamweaver or contribute to stop this from
    happening?
    any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Default Re: HELP paths from user created folder?????

    Put your navigation links inside of server side includes. Then, make then
    absolute links ("/resources.aspx") so that they will work regardless of where
    the page is located at within your site.

    Contribute doesn't modify scripts at all, nor will it modify the code inside
    of an include.
