Wo archive tread sia. Meɖekuku bia biabia yeye ne ehia kpeɖeŋu.

On http://www.castleparkgolfclub.co.uk/ I cannot download the entry forms on the right hand site. In IE no problem. The / an \ slashes seem to be the problem?

In Firefox the link comes up as http://www.castleparkgolfclub.co.uk/\Cmembersarea\media\Opens_Form_2012.pdf and I get the message Object not found, error 404. If I change all slashes to forward ones the link does work - that is how the link comes up in IE instantly. This is our golf club's website and it would be a pity if people cannot find the forms for our opens!

By viewing source I can see the following line:

<a href="\membersarea\media\Junior_Open.pdf" target="_blank">Entry Form</a></div>

I am not an html expert but it looks like whoever built the site has constructed the link wrongly using backslashes.

Notice that when you get to the pdf the full address is: http://www.castleparkgolfclub.co.uk/m.../Junior_Open.pdf

The links to the PDF files look OK now they have been corrected.
However there are still images that have src and and associated link href with backslashes in the attributes.

Thank you both so much! We do not have a professional web designer at our club so this is really helpful! Wendy
