Why not build and test it on your local hard disk?
You will then know if all the links are correct.

Then copy it to CD and post it to him for him to upload.
 
Or, if he is a total novice and is headed for trouble working with the CD, you
can avoid some headaches by just going ahead and publishing it somewhere for
him. Does it have to be on his site? You could always publish it to
http://www.yoursite.com/yourdadssite and just send him the url.

Just make sure you have an index or default file in the yourdadssite folder.
 
kimberlynn,
I find this difficult to believe.

What do you experts out there think?

If all else fails, you can go to Windows Explorer, find the folder you have
created and delete it from there. Once physically deleted (or at least moved
to the Recycle Bin) FP can't find it. Can it ??
 
What do you mean by Yahoo? What operating system are you using? If you're
using Windows XP Pro then it comes with a web server. Just create the web
site at http://localhost/NameofSite, work on it locally then put it on a CD
(it will be under C:\intetpub\wwwroot).

The best option would be to create it directly on his live site so he
doesn't have to re-upload it.
 
Once it's delete FP can't/won't find it. The part that puzzles me is what
does she mean that Yahoo won't let her delete it?
 
it lets me delete the files but not the folders
