site check & help

I'm so struggling here, and I'm sure you're all so tired of my whining, but
I really appreciate your help.

My site, Cancer Survivors On Line, is at www.cancersurvivors.org I'm trying
to get the top shared-border navigation to link to the home page. The home
page comes up fine and the links from that page work, but no [home] link
exists in the navigation in the top shared border. To go [home] one must use
their browser back button.

Previously I was told since my server is Apache that I should change the
target for home from Default.htm to default.htm. Well, easier said than
done, I guess. Online under view/source that language is visiable. However,
when I open my remote file through FP2003 here is the verbiage re:
navigation:

<p align="center"><small>
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="siblings" S-
Orientation="horizontal" S-Rendering="text" B-Include-Home="TRUE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" -->
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Type="children" S-Orientation="horizontal"
S-Rendering="text" B-Include-Home="FALSE" B-Include-Up="FALSE"
--></small></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center></div>

It appears as if this is the verbiage included by FP as I went through the
building process. And I don't see where I could change Default to default.
What in the he_ _ am I doing wrong!!!!

TIA

FP doesn't link to a specific home page filename, it just create a link as in <a href="/">Home</a>
which will automatically open the home page (default.htm). However the normal default filename when
on Apache is index.htm or index.html, not default.htm or default.html.

Thank you so much for that piece of information. I'm too tired this afternoon
but I'll mull it over and work on it again tomorrow. Thanks so much.

The best thing to do, is ask you host what is the first default document (home page) filename in
the list of default documents for your web hosting account.

You might want to check your nav structure and experiment a bit. Try
removing the "up".

Apache servers accept index.htm/html just fine, unless of course the host
has changed this (for whatever dumb reason).

As for the password problem, if your host allows subwebs, you can create
them with different browser passwords, then just put all the pages relating
to a particular group in a particular subweb.

Thank you Thomas and Wes.....Thomas, I've sent the question on to the rep at
the server, and Wes, thanks for the comments, but I didn't have a question
about passwords. Perhaps that was someone else? TA
