Link paths changing by themselves

I have absolute links inside a table. And sometimes the path will change to
_borders/xxxx.

Why would this happen?
 
FP can not manage absolute URLs, and will correct any link created by webbots if you change them and
later re-open the page in FP.

I've been using absolute url links for 2 years without problems.

I'm not using webbots for the main linkbar.
But some links rewrote themselves to _borders.

Is there another reason?
 
There is no problem using Absolute URLs (http://www.domainname.com/pagename.htm) in FP, just that FP
will not manage/correct them if you rename a file, move the file, or place the link in Include page
or shared border, etc.

You have the link in a shared border and FP can not adjust it to point to the actually location of
the file. You need to use a absolute URL (http://www.domainname.com/folder/pagename.htm)
