Frustrated

I am frustrated and confused. I still don't seem to know exactly to
produce multiple pages on one site. I have a main index.htm with
several images loaded into the same directory in my FTP program.
I am trying to create a link to a new page {from the main page to
another one stored in another folder within the same directory}
and every time I code it with an href {as I have done for other links} the whole thing shows up on the main page instead of showing when the link is clicked - "What am I doing wrong?"
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Oldan

Yes, the site is located at http://members.cox.net/gcbma/ ,
however the code that I was referring to has been removed because it messes up the page. I don't think I can type the HTML in here to show you what I am trying to add but I can probably put it in an email so you can see it. I have a seperate folder labelled "GCBMA Memb Form.htm" that is located within my main
site FTP program. When I code my index.htm with an href attribute statement referring to this folder [and using an image as the link behind the href code] I wind up with the contents of the folder being displayed [it is an application form] and no link image.What I'm trying to do is create a link so that when clicked on, it will open the form so people can print it out and send it in to our organization. "I hope I'm being clear here, umm I really don't profess to be any kind of expert when it comes to doing this stuff". Oldan

I am sooooo embarrassed ! In checking deeper into my problem I found that I had inadvertantly mislabelled a graphic file and thought it was a button when actually it was the form document I was trying to produce, so it displayed every time instead of the button to "link" to it [I had the form in another as well],
I told you I wasn't very good at this...Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Oldan,

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone makes simple mistakes like that. (: It's good you were able to uncover the mistake yourself.

Cheers,

Congrats on sorting you problem!

It's sooooo easy to make an easy mistake, one wrong character (or a missing one!) can send it dead weird!

*Applause!*

Thanks guys for your support. I may have another problem that someone can help me with. Located in my main directory I have
other html documents in folders, they are labelled index2.htm,
index3.htm, etc.... But now when I try to use a link to them
I get a "FORBIDDEN" notice on the screen that says I don't have
permission to access the files --- What Gives? Am I coding it wrong
or have I locked myself out of the server? I fixed the last problem by creating a new website and used its' address in my href link,
thereby going to a "new" place where I stored the application form. I have yet to be able to go from one page to another within my main directory. Any thoughts/helpful advise in this matter?
