Checking Links

Post by RCJones »

In my code I have a link set like this: <a href="../rw/uLuke_Becker.htm">Luke Becker</a> For some reason I am now getting a an error of "File Not Found" and shows the link as " File: D:\Speedway\public_html\res2022_w\uLuke_Becker.htm "

It could have something to do with the Absolute URL as it is different which is https://www.speedwaybikes.com/rw/uLuke_Becker.htm

But this always worked before so not sure what changed. Is there some way to put it back so I do not get these error?

Thanks, RC Jones

I would like to add that this error is not created on other similar pages.

Hello,

You may need to setup a path map so CSS HTML Validator can compute the correct path for link checking.

Here is more information:

If you still need help then please provide the full pathname to the document that contains <a href="../rw/uLuke_Becker.htm">Luke Becker</a> and the full pathname of the link that you want checked for href="../rw/uLuke_Becker.htm".

So before I make my brain explode learning about paths of link checking in your wonderful FAQ,'s here is the page that I got the errors from.
I looked at some of my other results pages (https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2022_w/calres.htm) and they work fine. So it is something with this page and I do not see it. Maybe I will rebuild the page and see what happens...
