Templates - Relative Naviation Links

Hi all,

Been developing a long time, but am new to templates.

We have a template which contains a couple navigation links. We MUST use relative links on our site; absoulte is not an option. So see a mock-up folder structure below:

- Teams
- index.html
- yankees.html
- Standings
- index.html
- images
- index.html

Assume we're trying to use the same template for each page. So say we have a footer on the bottom of every page that links to the Yankees page. If we were on the standings page we would want to link using ../teams/index.html. However if we were already on the Teams/index.html file we would just want to do yankees.html.

Dreamweaver is smart enough to update the pages using the template and change the relative links accordingly. It seems FP only wants to use the relative link specified in the template, thereby breaking it on other pages.

I've tried the update hyperlink, broken link checker, etc and it just isn't working. Is this a bug in FP or am I missing something?

Once I published the site and then went back it seems to be working automatically. The only issue now is for server-side includes. . . so if I have  it is not updating the path at all (again something DW handles). Will keep trying and let you know if I find anything different.

Just curious--why are you using FP?
Dreamweaver v4 is better than the last version of FP (and the new CS versions--including the CS4 BETA-- are fabulous!)
