Hi Expert,

I am uday satardekar,

In my website, i am using masterpage(mainMaster.master) for uniq look.

In that masterpage i have also included Navigational bar.

like

<li><a href="event/new_event.aspx">New Event</a></li>

I have created new_event.aspx
page in event folder.

Now from home page above link working fine,but after clicking new_event.aspx page and again clicking same link the path become event/event/new_event.aspx
and gives error.

How to remove this problem.because i have added categorywise pages in folder.

Thanks in advance............

Thankssssss..

But now using above code,from home page its not working,
and path showing ~/event/new_event.aspx

my home page is in root folder and other folder are in root also with pages.

The "~" indicates the root folder - so change your path to be appropriate to your folder structure. If your link address does not start with "~" then it is a relative path - relative to the current page - so any links in a master page must be full qualified.

Change your code as below. Hope it should work.

HTML

<ul><li><a href="../event/new_event.aspx">New Event</a></li></ul>

Have a look at below link for more information on "relative" path of "href".
