links not working in workspace document...

I'm building a website in workspaces and i'm starting to add relative links, but they do not appear to be working. I put my html pages in an html folder one level down from the index page, so i use the relative path of href="html/article.html" but when I preview the site and click on the link it does not take me to the appropriate place. Any ideas as to why this might be?

Just done a quick test in Workspaces and what you've described appears to be working fine.

Can you post a code snippet?

Here you go...

<figure class="article">
            <img class="article-image" src="img/introduction_graphic.svg">
            <figcaption class="article-caption">
                <h1 class="aticle-caption-title">Introduction.</h1>
                <h2 class="article-caption-subtitle">my brain on bits.</h2>
                <p class="article-caption-preview">This website is an attempt to get the thoughts in my head into the real world in a tangible form. I have chosen bits and bytes to get my points accross, and I'm glad that you are coming along...</p>
                <a href="html/article.html" class="article-caption-link">Read More...</a>
            </figcaption>
        </figure>

Yep, the relative link is working fine using that code in the test workspace I set up.

Maybe create a new workspace and copy/paste your existing code?

I downloaded the project from workspaces and dropped it into brackets and the link worked just fine, so I don't think it's the project. There must be an issue in workspaces somewhere... :-/
