check my updated answer

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 1:20am

I Checked, again getting same error,
When i take out the pages from links folder and put outside the root its working fine. but its not good know. so can you give me a solution please.

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 1:24am

in which page you have this menu and what is the location of that page?
what is the location of Vision and mission pages?
what is the location of your web site root folder?

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 1:30am

in Default.aspx (the home page which is loading fine)
the inner pages all are in (folder name Links)
/Links/Vision.aspx

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 1:36am

it is confusing, your error says you have ../ in your url but according to code you don't have, go to actual deployed aspx page and open it from notepad and check whether you have url with ../ or not

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 1:39am

Dear DamithSL,
These is my Hosted link http://www.ahaliaayurvedics.com/
when u click the menu u will get the error

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 2:04am

can you update the question with the full aspx code of one of file in your Link directory?

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 2:22am

I here by attached the aspx code.
http://www.ahaliaayurvedics.com/default%20page%20code.docx

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 2:33am

your default page working fine, problem with files in LINK folder, need to check one of the file content of file inside LINK folder.
for example your css file location and javascript file locations are not the same as default.aspx when you inside other folder. you may need to change those accordingly.

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 3:44am

ok,
But while running locally in my machine its working perfect, but while hosted only the problem is getting can you tell me why...this becoz

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 4:00am

are you testing on IIS or visual studio directly? cleanup your project and do a deployment again, clear the browser data and test it again ( or try with other browser like firefox or IE if you test on chrome initially)

ManojMurali 13-Dec-14 4:57am

Thanks Damith....Now Ok...

DamithSL 13-Dec-14 5:01am
