Could someone take a look at my site and tell me why the pop-up menu links are broken, while the text links at the bottom work fine?  I thought they follow the same paths, but apparantly not.  

(don't know if this will help you or not, but I am using Dreamweaver/ Fireworks 4, and the odd thing is that the pop-up menus in the templates work fine.  It only ceases to work when I create a new html file from the template and place it outside of the template folder.  All of this trouble started after I moved some pages around, but I don't understand why the pop-up menu is causing problems when all the other links are working fine.)

HELP!

Probably just the part you overlooked in the popup menus you have.

For the links at the bottom, you have the URL reading like: < a href="psalmsofsalt.html" >Psalms of Salt< /a> - Which tells the browser to look for the file "psalmsofsalt.html" in the same directory as as the page you're currently in.

In your popup menu, you have the link pointing as such "location ='../psalmsofsalt.html'" which is telling the browser to go back one directory "../" and find the file "psalmsofsalt.html" there.

Peace,

Chris
