Borderline Useless -- Corrupted Links Distorted Web Pages

[rschoensta]

Ok.
The cache trick?
Does not Work
I thought it did but it doesn't.
Stuff is being cached.
Now if I constantly empty my cache it looks like it gets better.
But most visitor's are not going to do that and probably don't know how and certainly shouldn't have to.

But worse yet.
My links are constantly being destroyed.
If I add a new page dozen of links get corrupted.
I then I have to go correct them all.
I am coming up on close to 100 links and by the time I'm done will probably have two hundred.
I can't be correcting 200 links every time I turn around. (slight exaggeration)
Go to my website you'll see what I mean.

Many of the links are corrupted.

Most of these links were working.

Guys this a great program in terms of ease use but right now USELESS for publishing so the public can see it.

By the way these two problems could be connected.
If you realize that one problem appears to be caused by name references to graphic objects being screwed up and then realize that links are to graphic objects then maybe it's the same or similar problem.

Am I the only one having this problem.

I haven't tried marrying the two suggestions for clearing up the site distortion but off hand I don't see how that works -- unless there are a lot of old junk files lying on the web site which aren't updated.

Any suggestions would be appreciated but clearly I can't have a public website with such serious flaws.

The ease of use is far offset by the fact that I have to constantly repair links.

Very frustrated.

One idea is that maybe you can only add pages at the end.
And you should never delete any.
Does anybody work that way?
It's still a pain.
Because frequently the design I want to add is a copy of another page.

The site looks pretty good, although there are some bad links. If you could post your .xar file maybe we can help. Let me know when you make an update (and upload) and I'll check the page to see it the cache reloads OK. I use that technique on several of my sites without a problem.

When you go to the web site, the links on the first page are mostly or all ok.
Click on the calendar link and this will take you to the may calendar.
Now hover over the home button.
And look at the bottom left of the screen to see where you will go if you click that button.
You will go to the outings web page.
And if you click the may button you go to the large map and so on.
There are 7 buttons on each calendar and 6 calendars.
That is 42 buttons right there that need to be programed.

Since getting links all right is a major part of web design, this program is useless for me if I can't this problem solved.

[rschoensta]

There are some bad links?
That's the whole point.
I have fixed and refixed these links.
They were all or mostly all ok.
And then after I did my latest work I ended up with massive corruption.

[jimhanus]

Just trying to help. That's why I asked to see the .xar file.

[rschoensta]

Thanks I appreciate it.
I'm not sure what you mean by see the .xar file.

Also a couple of other points.
The problem with the links started when I imported a page from a parallel web file I was working on.
That caused the initial corruption.

As I noted before it seems now that every time I add a page I get corrupted links on the pages below.

[jimhanus]

When you reply, click on the little paperclip icon to attach the actual file you are working on so we can open it and look at how the actual links and pages are set up.

If it's Webdesigner, then it's a .web file. In Xtreme it's a .xar.

This appears to be a duplicate or parallel thread (http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=44387). Perhaps they should be merged?

Sometimes if your links are on the same layer as another link, you will have problems. If you have a graphic that is linked and a text link in the same area, the text link may be activated by the graphics link.

Bring the text link to the front and it should work.

But not always.

TIP: A subject such as Borderline Useless is not going to get you as much help as, something like Need Help with my Links, eh?
