Re: HTML question

I think there is a "BASE" meta tag, I don't remember where I found it. Try w3c.

This is an html question. If it should be asked elsewhere, tell me which list.

I'm creating an html page with one line per invoice delivered that day. The invoice number is a hypertext link that points to a .pdf of the invoice like so:

<a href="file:\\Qdilgard\ROOT\Invoices\2003-08\22\1474845.pdf">1474845</a>

so the user can click on it and see a .pdf of the invoice. And it works!

The "file:\\Qdilgard\ROOT\Invoices\2003-08\22\" part is the same for each and every invoice. It makes sense to me that I could put this somewhere in the <STYLE> or else predefine it in some way so I don't have to repeat it every line, but I can't find a way in the reference book on html I'm using to do it. Can it be done?

Go gentle. This is my first html. <g>
