website advice request
 
i have been been using dreamweaver to build a bit of a website that i'm making for a learning centre in work. i have not yet got a host for the site and have just been building it as a local one on my pc at home so far.

what i want to do now is take it in work to let some of my work mates look at it and make any suggestions about the content and layout etc. when i open it in the browser on a different computer the main page is fine and it still finds the main image but i have some links on there that open pdf files and they are not working as the html is pointing them to a location on my pc at home. the computer i use in work does not have dreamweaver or any other web making tools on it.

is there an easy way to fix this problem quickly or will i have to edit the html for every single link on my page ?

i hope i have explained my problem clearly. thanks for reading and any suggestions you might have.

so the pdf files are not uploaded to the web in any way?

dunno what the 'word processing' power of dreamweaver is like, but if it doesn't have a 'search and replace' function, then load the html into e.g. word & do it that way.

- of course you will need to know which path the pdfs are going to be physically available at...

If the PDF's are in a folder, make sure the link is something like //folder/file.pdf and that it doesnt have the letter eg. C://folder/file.pdf

cheers for the replys m8's, as you's can probably guess this is the first webby i've attempted :)

although i think my emplyees will allow access to the main page of the site i dont think they'll let me put links on going all over the place which is why i was using pdf files, i decided to go with driver's solution and link directly to the web though just until i upload it all then i will save all the files on the web server..

thanks again though all :)
