followed by the domain name (such as www.deneba.com), followed by a slash that indicates the root directory. •   When you assign a hyperlink in the URL Attachment pal- ette, and the “Create Absolute URLs” option is selected in the “Directories for Server Aliases” dialog box, Canvas constructs the complete URL by preceding the name of a file you select with the text you enter in the Root URL text box. 3 In the Equivalent Root text box, type the name of the directory or folder on your local hard disk that you use as the “root” folder for storing your site’s Web pages. Click the Browse button to use a directory dialog box to select a file that is in the folder you want to specify as the Equivalent Root folder. •   Canvas uses the location of the Equivalent Root folder when it creates URLs for a file you select on disk as the tar- get of a hyperlink. Canvas compares the file’s location within the directory structure to the location of the Equiva- lent Root. For example, if the file you select is one level below the Equivalent Root, Canvas includes the parent folder in the directory path when it constructs a complete URL. 4 In the Destination folder text box, type the name of the folder where you are saving the current document’s Web pages, or use the Browse button to select a file in this folder. 5 Click OK to implement the directories. Create Absolute URLs option You can select the option “Create Absolute URLs” in the “Directo- ries for Server Aliases” dialog box to tell Canvas how to enter URLs when you use the Browse button in the URL Attachment palette. If “Create Absolute URLs” is selected, and you use the Browse but- ton to select a file, the link to the file appears as a complete URL (beginning with http://) in the URL Attachment palette. If this option is not selected, links to other pages appear as relative paths when you use the Browse button to select a file.
