Simple HTML problem,<a href = "#",Links don't work

[struntz]

Hello everyone, I cna't seem to get this to work. I created the Layout using Fireworks. Each page has its own Folder, there are 5 folders. Each folder contains the .htm page name and the images for that .htm page. Here is the directory of the pages.
C:\My Documents\Site\htmlFormat

The here are the 5 folders:
[list=1][*]MainLayout[*]Projects[*]News[*]AboutMe[*]Links[/list=1]

Here is an example of what is in the MainLayout Folder:
C:\My Documents\Site\htmlFormat\MainLayout
Layout.htm
Layout_r1_c1.gif
Layout_r2_c1.gif
Layout_r3_c1.gif
...

The MainLayout contains the mainpage, when u start the page up it will take u to that page.

So this is what i did:

I opened the Layout.htm file in text pad, i found the line which contains the Projects Button
here is the line:

  <tr>
   <td rowspan="2" colspan="3"><img name="Layout_r2_c1" src="Layout_r2_c1.gif" width="19" height="64" border="0"></td>
   <td colspan="3"><a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();"  onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Projects');MM_swapImage('Layout_r2_c4','','Layout_r2_c4_f2.gif',1);return document.MM_returnValue" ><img name="Layout_r2_c4" src="Layout_r2_c4.gif" width="124" height="31" border="0" alt="button"></a></td>
   <td rowspan="6" colspan="2"><img name="Layout_r2_c7" src="Layout_r2_c7.gif" width="657" height="191" border="0"></td>
   <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="31" border="0"></td>
  </tr>

Notice where it says
<a href ="#"

I tried the following in that spot
<a href = "Projects.htm"
<a href = "htmlFormat\Projects.htm"
<a href = "htmlFormat\Projects\Projects.htm"

and nothing works, it says page cannot be displayed
What am i doing wrong and how can this be fixed?

THanks everyone for listening!

'For urs...
<a href="../projects/projects.htm">

<a href = "Projects.htm"
<a href = "htmlFormat\Projects.htm"
<a href = "htmlFormat\Projects\Projects.htm"

your \ are the wrong way you need /

Hey guys thanks a ton!

what i had to do was

<a href = "C:/My Documents/Site/htmlFormat/Projects/Projets.htm"


So basically i had to put the whole root, and i had to change from \ to /

Don't forget to change this if you put it onto a server!

If you are developing it for a server then I suggest you use a PWS (personal web server). for testing !

Are u sure??? Did u try to use <a href = "../projects/projects.htm"> You should never need to reference the whole root when hyperlinking between diff pages espec in the way u have described ur setup.
