Well of course they do.. that's where they're linked to:

<a class="search_result" href="../search/templates/http://piratesclothing.co.uk/faq.html">Find answers to Frequently Asked Questions.</a>

Im sorry im not sure i understand? Its taking me to this www.**********.com and yet this URL is not in that line of code you have displayed? care to elaborate? thankyou for replying

ch8dy2

******* .com

bradgrafelman

Regardless of where you end up, that URL definitely looks malformed. (Why is "../search/templates/" in front of what would otherwise be a perfectly normal absolute URI?)

0 0 0 web host . c o m

Also note that we don't need to know where you're getting redirected to since a) it's irrelevant, and b) it's obvious being censored by the forum's filter (which means you should stop trying to post it, not attempt to circumvent the filter).

My apologies for souding incredibly like a newb, but where are you seeing this, i am in code view and cant find it?

bradgrafelman

Where am I seeing what?

ch8dy2

the malformed URL. what is it that needs doing to correct this? to allow the linked results to visit the correct page once selected?

bradgrafelman

To correct it, simply don't add a bunch of garbage (such as, say, "../search/templates/") in front of the actual URL.

ch8dy2

But where are you seeing this, i can not find this URL that you are referring to.

bradgrafelman

I simply copied the HTML for the first result on the page you linked to in your second post.

ch8dy2

Ok, now i have no clue as to how that has happened. This is not showing in the "faq.html" file in dreamweaver, where can i get rid of this?

ch8dy2

Honestly, cant see anything, have searched every page from top to bottom and nothing, really confused, please help.

Well of course it isn't... is faq.html responsible for generating the HTML for the search results? I'm betting not.

Where is the code that generates the HTML for the search results? That's where I'd start.
