Two Different Titles on index.htm (web can't see either)

[D. Small Gilligan]

I have recently re-imaged on my computer, and found that I ended up with a few
duplicate pages in FP editor. I deleted the duplicates and http'd to the
server, to replace and overwrite all of the current web.

Having trouble with the Top Shared Border of index.htm (home page) once I view
it on the web. I think there is a simple solution, but I can't figure it out. I
think it comes from re-naming my Index page a while back. I have looked at it a
few ways:
..................................
(1) Page view in FP Editor index.htm
Title on top shared border: "My Plain Named Web"
Page Banner text (properties): "My Plain Named Web"
Links correct in top shared border and left shared border
Rest of page is fine
.......................................
(2) In FP Editor index.htm
Navigation View properties
and Folders View Title:
"My Plain Named Web (Name, Name) Country, Country - 16th Century"
..........................................

(3) On the web. No Title or Links in top shared border
No links in left shared border
Rest of page is fine
URL reads http://home.my ISPserver.com/plainweb/
If I go to another page and use a link back to the home page, then I get a a
correct page that contains "My Plain Named Web" with links in both top shared
border and left border. When that happens, the URL reads:
http://home.my ISPserver.com/plainweb/index.htm

On the web, if I rightclick the home page (index.htm) and look at the General
Properties tab, it reads:
"My Plain Named Web (Name, Name) Country, Country - 16th Century"
.......................................

Would I change the title (from the long name to the short name) on the
Navigation page, or on the Folders Page?

Or is there a hidden index file in limbo to delete? Or is this the right fix?
The report summary says I have no broken links.

You must have the web open in FP Explorer before doing any editing or
creating new pages, etc. via FP Editor.

Maybe we aren't on the same line of thought. Maybe I don't mean FP editor. I do
not work in the HTML view. I work in Normal page view. I have two successful
webs for three years, so am not completely inexperienced. I just have a quirk
here, and not sure how to fix it. Thanks for any fix. dargill

Sorry.

When you say FP Editor, that to me mean FP98 where the Editor and Explorer
where 2 separate application. With FP2000 and up, Editor and Explorer are
one, so best to indicate that you are working in Normal View or HTML View,
etc. in the future.

Sound like your home page is incorrectly named as required by your host.
Open you live site directly in FP and see if you have a second home besides
index.htm.

Sounds like your host requires a different home page filename than the one you are using, or is case sensitive
Open your online web in FP and see if you have an Index.htm or index.html in addition to your index.htm (or a default.htm/.html)

Great Day In the Morning! Went to live web and found the duplicate. It would
have happened during a very recent Restore Image procedure. Because I already
had an index.htm, it named the restored duplicate to index.html. Thank you so
much!
