    Hello

    Im trying to link videos in html to my site, I search around google for some video link tutorials, and i found a couple that looks easy then some other one's. I want to have the option for visitors to download and or window video pop up. But when i go to my site, it says "Not Found -The requested URL /web\video\flowers.wmv was not found on this server."

    The html link is <a href="web\video\flowers.wmv">Flowers</a>. The link should be working, my index.html page is in "C:\web", and my video in "C:\web\video". My net ip 71.178.137.51:8080, b4 it changes, I have 2 "flowers" links. Could it be the order of the directory.

    I thought when using anchor tags, you need to use a forward slash as such:

    <a href="web/video/flowers.wmv">Flowers</a>

    But I might be wrong. See if that works, though.
