Pic links broken-- how do I make them absolute URLs?

[Guest]

I'm working on a new site, and I created a custom 404 error page. If I go to
a nonexistent page where the URL points to the same folder as the 404 file,
it works fine. If, though, the URL points to a folder at a deeper level, the
404 page loads but the external style sheet and all images cannot be found.
How do I link these in absolutely (without touching the HTML)?

You touch the HTML. All links on the page must be absolute or root
relative, that is must be of the form
http://www.example.com/path/page.htm or /path/page.htm
FrontPage will not do this by itself - you have to change every link in the
page manually[1]. If you use link bars, you will have to recreate these
manually as well.

[1] Search and replace can be used -
search for href="../../ replace with href="/
search for href="../ replace with href="/

and so on, but do the deepest links first.

Thanks for the reply. I came to the same conclusion, and I elected to make
the 404 default page a simple text page with a 1-second redirect to the
actual error page. Eliminates the little idiosycnrasies.
