Redirect to a variable URL on Intranet

I know how to redirect to a fixed URL but I would like to be able to vary the directory path for my redirect.

To explain: my normal hyperlinks are prefixed ../ to represent the higher level directory path that may change when I move test web page to the production intranet. e.g. ../IRM/Index.phtml. FrontPage generates an 'a href' command. I have tried replacing the URL portion of the tag with a href ../IRM/Index.phtml but it does not work.

Am I able to redirect to a variable URL or does the URL have to be to a fixed address?

Regards

From your post, my understanding is that you want to do something like this:
linktext

This is called relative addressing, and it's a great technique that makes your HTML very portable. I won't use FrontPage except after extreme torture, but I would look at the program options and see if there's an option that will allow relative addressing.

Thanks for your response, unfortunately I could not make it work. I have played around and can now use a ../ relative address using my original method of Meta ... refresh....

Thanks anyway for your response.
