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.

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 sites 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 files 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.

In the Destination folder text box, type the name of the folder
where you are saving the current documents Web pages, or use the
Browse button to select a file in this folder.

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.
