In web pages of
other people I can often click on a files with extensions mdb (Microsoft Access), xls
(Microsoft Excel), doc (Microsoft Word), and similar files and have them automatically
download into my computer. When I look at the source code in my browser, these downloads
simply have a relative link to those files. But when I try to do the same thing with my
files so that web users can download my files, the same relative links will not work. Why
is this?
In web pages of
other people I can often click on a files with extensions tbk (Asymetrix ToolBook), xls
(Microsoft Excel), doc (Microsoft Word), and similar files and have them automatically
read as a browser plugin or APP in my computer. For example, ToolBooks will read in the
Neuron plugin and Macromedia Director files will read in a Shockwave plugin. When I look
at the source code in my browser, these downloads simply have a relative link to those
files. But when I try to do the same thing with my files so that web users can read these
files in browser plugins or APPs, the same relative links will not work. Why is this?

function as expected in the Web browser. What is wrong with Microsoft FrontPage in this
regard?
