Pages changing online

I'm having a problem with my DW CS6 online. All the links are correct when uploaded. But then once a link is clicked online, the next page's URL shows up inside the previous folder. You can see this in the browser URL window if you go to www.mhaaa.org. For example:

If I click on "Chuck Bauer" from the left hand menu, it takes me correctly to that page -- /artists/bauer.html -- inside the website. But then if I then click on "Nancy Bruins" from that same left hand menu -- it takes me to an incorrect page, /artists/artists/bruins.html.  Notice that the folder "artists" is now showing up twice, even though that is not the original link placed into that page.

I honestly don't have a clue how to fix t his.  I'm thinking it must be some kind of online virus.  Has anyone ever seen this before, and can you tell me how to fix it?

Desparate,

Tamlyn

    It's probably how you have the href values formatted.  I've biffed like that many more times than I care to remember, and I've been doing this since late 2000.  Even recently.

    Never mind.  I just learned that my template was corrupted.  All I needed to do was to put a forward slash to indicate the root folder for those links.  Many thanks to Al Sparber.

    My pleasure.

    ...even though my answer was apparently not the "correct" one

    Hi Al,

    I never actually saw your online response. Sorry about that. Both were correct.

    Thanks again!
