Page Addresses

Individual sections or pages on large websites (like this one) sometimes have very long addresses. For example, you would need to type

http://www.hrmguide.net/internet/pages.html

to find one of the pages in this section.

Obviously, there is a lot of typing and there is a good chance of making at least one error. This why some of the links you find on web pages give you an error message when you click - perhaps because of a small typing error.

More often the website compiler just changed a page address or removed it completely. You can check on this by going to the address field in the error page you receive. Then carefully delete everything that comes after the backslash  /  that follows the root website address. Example:

http://www.hrmguide.net/internet/page.html

will give you an error message. So delete from the end back to that important backslash:

http://www.hrmguide.net/

Now doubleclick - you should have found the 'front entrance' to the website. Then find the page you want (if it exists) by following the links on the website.
