Today I was trying to edit my site by using the 'view source' option...but instead of showing the file's name...I saw the full path...so now i cant edit my html doc.
example:
If I open "c:\abc.html" and the view it's source I get a document which says in it's title:
"C___abc.html[1]"
instead of "abc.html"
can any one help?Ramesh Kamath

"view source" option? Do you mean that you are using "view source" from Internet Explorer.
That wasn't really designed for editing .html files on a webserver. Normally, when you look at a webpage, you are getting it from a web server that is somewhere else. And even tho you can view the source, you can't make changes and write it back to the originating webserver. That would be a bit insecure.
If you are running a webserver and using IE on the same PC, then you might be able to make this work, but since IE didn't go thru the normal file system to open the file, you are going to have to tell it where to save the file (using Save As).

Ramesh Kamath,
Right-click the "abc.html" (you said c:\abc.html), and choose to open with 'notepad'. Make your changes, and then Save the changes. The address you were getting, was the internet temp files <dir>. Where it was cached. I think :-)
After you've made the changes, and it's as you want it. Upload it, to the server (the new edited one. pull your old one off first, you never know, might need it)
Good luck
