TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Disclaimer: I don't have any web-authoring tools, and probably
won't for a while.
If an html page has some gifs and stylesheets, etc., they all
go in a directory with the same name as the page, so Windows
helps you to keep them together when moving, copying, etc. Cool.
If you try to rename in Windows, Windows warns you to preserve
the internal links by opening the page in IE and doing Save as...
Unfortunately, when you Save as..., IE finds any local links
inside your page (such as to PDF and readme files in the same
directory, and turns them into fully qualified absolute filespecs
like:
<a href="file:///E/temp/QuickStartGuide.pdf"
instead of
<a href="QuickStartGuide.pdf"
Yes, I can go through the file with Notepad and get
rid of the "file:///E:/temp/" crap, and my Welcome
page will once again work if it's put on a customer CD...
but I'd rather not.
I have so far overlooked any setting in IE to switch off
this bit of Microsoft helpfulness.
What do others do?
