How do i make the links i created on the homepage go directly where they need to go?
i.e. I have a “contact tab” on the homepage, but when clicked it goes to the:
Index of /contact
Parent Directory
Contact.htm
cgi-bin/
images/
If you click contact.htm then it will go to the "contact page i created.
Im sure it is as simple as renaming too!?!
Thanks again guys!
Actually, it looks like you have a subfolder called /contact which contains your contact page and associated graphics. In that case, the URL should be
http://www.mywebsite.com/contact/contact.htm
Although, you’re probably better off putting it into the root directory, instead. Unless you plan for your website to have a high level of organizational complexity, it’ll be simpler to link to stuff that way.
One tip: if you don’t want folks being able to see your directory structure and file list, every folder should contain, at minimum, a blank index.html page. That way, if they navigate to a folder you don’t intend for public access, they’ll only see the blank index page, not the directory tree.
You are correct, i do have a subfolder called /contact which contains your contact page and associated graphics.
Please elaborate on the root directory process as it seems like the way id like to go. I am unfamiliar with that as hostpapa has a drag and drop set-up for files.
Thanks!
The root directory is just the top-level directory. The directory that the subfolder /contact is in, is the root directory. Just move contact.htm to there.
ok, thanks!
