I never use a beginning slash, so I've never run into it! Great tip. :D

That's an interesting opinion sly1340, and you're welcome to it - but if you're going to spout off a non-topic-related opinion - next time, would you be good enough to include a non-topic-related reason for your opinion? As it stands your reply in no way helps the original poster.

This behaviour is usually as a result of the way you set up your site within Dreamweaver - you have set the local root folder to the folder you are working from - hence dreamweaver inserts the leading slash to indicate the path to the file as relative to the root folder.

In practice this is only what you want if
1) Your working on your local PC and the files are all relative to the root fo the drive (e.g. all stored directly below c:\

2) You are working on a http server and all files are stored in the root http folder (e.g. htdocs on apache).

If you are wanting to organise all files for a site in a folder of their own (which is what most of us do) then

1) Place the folder directly below the root folder of the webserver or the local drive

2) pick the folder above the one you are working on as the local root ( e.g. c:\ for local folder or server_root for http files

This will then cause dreamweaver to insert /your_site_folder/ instead of just / and everything should work for you.

NB / will work fine if as I said all files you are working on are in the top level directory of your local hard drive or the server root.
