Howdy all
how do you start a webpage?.
i need to understand how the index.htm occurs
if i create my opening page by using new htm there is no index
do i not have to create a template?
Confused
It's a little old but the basics are just the same and it'll get you up and running with your first index page in no time! Everyone here's just a post away too
I also like the site: http://www.w3schools.com - good tutorials. Start with the basics, work your way through HTML, CSS and graphic design.
I always start by creating a mockup of a site before building the HTML in Fireworks. Once the client approves the image, I backwards engineer the image into a Dreamweaver template.
Do you have to have an index.html, is this not what explorer looks for?
is it produced automatically or do you have to save your page as index,html.
i don't have a problem building a webpage, just need to understand about the index.html
Regards
okay i have found my answer, index.html points to your homepage, if there is no index.html you have to define your homepage link.
Thankyou for the links on html
Each server software defaults to its own method, often index or default with either .htm or .html, however, this can be changed or set by the server software package. When a server gets a request for a page, based on the domain that called it, the server delivers whatever default page method it is programmed to. So, that means that ANY folder on your web server can employ that method.
Example:
www.whatever.com when called will resolve using DNS to the proper server, which in turn will look in the root directory and deliver the "default" page it is told to.
www.whatever.com/folder/ would also employ the same method, so that every folder below your root can use the default page set.
Your browser has little to do with what page gets called when using and indirect address.
