Organization of folders:
Begin by creating a new folder in which you want to work. It is this space recently created that you will transfer on your server.
Do not make any link with a picture or a file outside this folder, it will work on your computer but not on Internet!
It is advised to separate the pictures of texts. Create for that purpose appropriate folder.
The arborescence can be the following one:
| Folder : website | ||
|
Folder : doc_text | Folder : doc_img |
|
|
|
Notice: Note the presence of index.html. This document is essential. It is the front door of your website. The browser will open this document at first. It must be placed at the root of the mainfolder.
Let us admit that your website is transfered
on a server at the following address: "http: // www.website.com"
When a visitor type this address "http:
// www.website.com", the document "index.html" will be opened, it would be the
same address then "http: // www.website.com / index.html"
It is however possible to go directly to a precise page of a website : "http: // www.website.com / doc_text / text4.html"
It is also possible
to place a document "index.htm" in a secondary file
This is very useful if
your site has several parts well distinguished, for example a website
in several languages:
"http: //www.website.com
/deutch" and "http: //www.website.com /english"
Hypertext links, mail and insertions of pictures:
Before approaching hypertext links and
insertions of pictures, it is necessary for us to speak about the address
of the document
The address can be relative or absolute.
You noted the use of the slash "/" which means going down in the arborescence. With two points " ../ " the function is going back up in the folder tree.
absolute Address:
Depends on the situation of
the document in wich you are working
Let us take examples from
our site website.com
| Point of departure: | Point of arrival: | address : |
| text1.html | text2.html | text2.html |
| index.html | text2.html | doc_text/text2.html |
| text2.html | index.html | ../index.html |
| text2.html | img1.jpg | .. /img/img1.jpg |
Hypertext link:
< a href = " http: // www.website.com / text / text4.html " > Click here to reach the text 4 < / a > for an absolute addressLink mail:
<a href = " texte4.html " > Click here to reach the text 4 < / a > for a relative address
("a" means anchor)
< a href = " mailto:name@website.com" > My mailbox< / a >
Insertion of a picture:
< img src = " http: // www.website.com / img / img1.jpg " >for an absolute address.Exercise:
< img src =.. / img / img1.jpg >for a relative address.
