Distributing HTML on CD - problems with Mac

I need to distribute some HTML pages, including graphics, on a CD. It works perfectly in Windows, but when I put it in a Mac (9.x OS), all of the links to the graphics are broken. However, when I put it on a server, it works perfectly on the Mac. So, what's the deal? What am I missing here? Thanks for any help you can provide.😕
 
Various web browsers will auto-correct your html mistakes. Make sure your html syntax is 100% correct. Maybe the server is auto-filling some of the URLs, when on the CD it can't do that, and the mac's browser isn't doing it either.

So ya, I guess you should go back and check all the URLs to the images and make sure that they are in the proper format, such as "./pics/somepic.jpg" or "../pics/somepic.jpg".
 
Actually, I put all the graphics and HTML files in the root folder because I was afraid there might be some kind of \ vs / issue, and it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I've looked for syntax errors, and neither Dreamweaver nor I can find them, but of course that doesn't mean they're not there! {sigh}
 
Well, I figured it out - I wasn't using 8.3 filenames, and the Mac was truncating them, so it couldn't find the graphics. I didn't think this would be an issue on the Mac, but there you go.
