Excellent suggestion!

Yes, the file with the traditional internet links, without the "../", and the one that validates does link properly. The file with the "../" added does not.

But! the first time I tried this Safari reported that I did not have "permissions" to view the page.

I went back to the Finder and re-set Permissions so that I could Read & Write to all the files in the ePub. Then, the linked page would load.

So, could it be that the file permissions are being carried over to the iPod Touch? That might prevent the link from opening then, just as Safari would not open the link. Or, do permissions get dropped if the file is transferred to another computer? If I need to set permissions here, any idea what they would be? I can guess what the permissions would be, but what would the name be? "everyone", "system", "staff"? Any ideas?
