+The source file `foo/bar.mdwn` or `foo/bar.html` generates the
+page `foo/bar/index.html`, but the links to the page appear
+as "`foo/bar/`". This is fine (and recommended) for pages
+served by an http server, but it doesn't work when browsing
+the pages directly using `file:` URL. The latter might be
+desirable when testing pages before upload, or if you want to
+read pages when off-line without access to a web server.
+
+Here is a JavaScript "`onload`" script which fixes the URLs
+if the `local.protocol` isn't `http` or `https`:
+
+ function fixLinks() {
+ var scheme = location.protocol;
+ if (scheme=="http:" || scheme=="https:") return;
+ var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
+ for (var i = links.length; --i >= 0; ) {
+ var link = links[i];
+ var href = link.href;
+ var hlen = href.length;
+ if (hlen > 0 && link.protocol==scheme && href.charAt(hlen-1) == "/")
+ links[i].href = href + "index.html";
+ }
+ }
+
+This can be placed in `page.tmpl`:
+
+ <html>
+ <head>
+ <script language="JavaScript">
+ function fixLinks() {
+ ...
+ }
+ </script>
+ </head>
+ <body onload="javascript:fixLinks();">
+ ...
+ </html>
+
+This script has not been extensively tested. \ No newline at end of file
