index.htm vs. index.html in navigation view

[albert]

I renamed my home page from index.htm to index.html to accommodate my web
host by following instructions I read in many posts. The problem I now have
is when I go into navigation view and double click on "Home", I get the error
"Server Error: There is no page with URL 'index.htm' in this web. How do I
tell navigation view in frontpage 2002 that it should be looking for
index.html instead???

Normally, links to the Home page in link bars based on the Navigation
View do not link to a specific page, they link to the root folder - the
links appear as (preview in browser and view source) <a
href="./">Home</a> in the root folder, or <a href="../">Home</a> in
folders one level down.

When you rename a page in an open FrontPage web all links to the page
are updated throughout the web, but this does exclude links made through
programming (such as JavaScript) and links from pages in subwebs.

If there are no links in JavaScript or subwebs you have 3 options for
correcting the links:
Open the web in FrontPage

1) Run Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks (this will probably fail to
correct the broken links, but will make the next option smoother if the
meta data is out of synch.)

2) View->Reports->Problems->Hyperlinks. This report allows you to
correct all broken links in the website. It will correct multiple
broken links to the same page in one go.

3) Rename the home page to index.htm, and allow FP to correct all
links. Then rename again to index.html, again allow FP to correct the
links to the page.
