## XML test file

## \<Slides\> \<slideNode linkURL=“[www.cnet.com](http://www.cnet.com)” jpegURL=“images/test1.jpg”\>test 1\</slideNode\> \<slideNode linkURL=“[www.zdnet.com](http://www.zdnet.com)” jpegURL=“images/test2.jpg”\>test 2\</slideNode\> \<slideNode linkURL=“[www.pcmag.com](http://www.pcmag.com)” jpegURL=“images/test3.jpg”\>test 3\</slideNode\> \<slideNode linkURL=“[www.newegg.com](http://www.newegg.com)” jpegURL=“images/test4.jpg”\>test 4\</slideNode\> \</Slides\>

In the browser, [www.cnet.com](http://www.cnet.com), does not work.  
The value it outputs is: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/slideshow/www.cnet.com

XML has been updated with the "http://"  
When I try the quick preview “ctrl+enter” the buttons works.  
When I publish it and try the HTML document, when the button is pressed, it does not load the page.
