The home page must be named according to your host's requirements. Have you
asked them?

|I have uploaded it using the new page and as "html". This confused me. I
| was told that the first page, opening/home page must have the file
extension
| "html". When you said to save it as "htm" I wasn't sure. When I got to
| work and viewed it I realized that I probably should have saved it and
| replaced the original "html" page. In any event it should be as you guys
| suggested. Thanks.
|
| So let me ask. Can the home page be "htm"? Where does the "html" fit in?
| Then again maybe I don't really need to know.
| Thanks again and I'm anxious to see the site tomorrow at work using
Mozilla.
|
| I also printed both "html" sheets and I'm trying to compare them. Most of
| it makes very little sense to me. Hopefully someday I'll understand it.
| Once again thanks,

Yes, of course. Why not?

I agree with "Why not?"

The only answer that would make any sense to me is that you don't have
enough disk space, but if that is so, then you probably wouldn't be able to
do much with your PC anyway.

I have IE6 and FF1.6 and I try to check in FF that my site looks OK, given
that it is actually more up-to-date and standards-compliant than IE. But
when FF doesn't work as IE, I sometimes just give up and say to myself: "Oh
well, IE is still in the majority, I'll look at that later" !

As a side issue, I wonder - is it worth installing Netscape and/or Opera?
What percentage use them and is it necesary to check that a site works with
them or would it be safe to say: "If FF works, then all others should"?

BTW, I only have a personal website - it is not vital that every browser
should be able to see it the same. I probably don't have many visitors.

The home page file extension is whatever is required by your web host.

I don't think so. If it looks good in FF, it will look good in NN. And if
it looks good in everything but Opera, well, who cares?

Thomas,
I did as you instructed. The page displays wonderfully. I hope someday to
be able to understand how you did that.
Thanks again,
