URL:FILE:///C:/DOCUMENTS%20AND...

What does this eror message mean and how doI fix it?

URL:FILE:///C:/DOCUMENTS%20AND...
It means that it is trying to link to a local file in your computer (probably missing) instead of a URL like http://www.whatever.com on the Internet.
Reply:It's not an error message it's a url (location of a file)...looks like you are trying to link to a file that isn't there anymore...
Reply:It's actually just a link to a local file, likely a file on your computer. "Local" means that the file you are linking to (whether it is an html or image file) is found on a particular computer, and is not available to the public. That link needs to be made "relative" and then uploaded to your web server.





By relative I mean the link needs to not include the file:///c:/documents etc.





Eg. if your link is file:///c:/documents/myfiles/page.html


it should just be page.html or something similar.





Take a look here for an in depth explanation of absolute and relative paths, and making sure they work.
