If you have win 95/98/NT/2k then you can install PWS, which is a simple,
low-capacity webserver. Stick your files in the right place and you can use
root-relative URLs (eg <a href="/index.html">)

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  [thelist] "base href" question



Hey all,

I'll be using a <base href> tag in my 100+ page website.  While I'm coding
it, I'll be doing it on my local machine.  Then, I'll simply do a universal
change on all the files to the <base href> tag before I upload it to the
live server.

My question is: What is the syntax for a non-http:// address in the base
href tag?  My base directory will be C:\websites\newsite\html\ on a Windows
machine. I can't seem to get it right...
