HTML - Viewing My Website Locally (index.html In Every Directory)
Hi,
I've decided to use subdirectories and index.html files to present my all my web pages (www.website.com/about, with a index.html file within the about folder). But I am finding it difficult to view my website locally when editing, as I open it in either firefox, safari, opera and every time time I hit a link it doesn't direct me to the index.html file, but instead shows me every file located within the directory. Is there anyway round this, as I am having to upload every page to view the changes I make to it. For example, do you know of any extensions or different web browsers that don't do this? Thanks, Matthew Similar TutorialsI am creating a prototype of a website on a local cdrive that will be installed on thousands of other computers, also on their crive. As such, thanks to SP2, there are warnings that come up when the home page of this site is opened up (yellow bar at top, several clickthroughs that you have to click on). I installed the .... `fix' which was to add to the top of the page a `Mark of the Web' which was to add this line of code <!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet --> as the very first line. Intial problem was solved, this page now opens without any warnings ! HOWEVER A NEW PROBLEM WAS CREATED! Once on this page, any subsequent links to pdfs do not work AT ALL! Question: how can I stop the error messages and maintain full functionality to provide links to pdfs? Mo The solution cannot be changing settings on their browsers, or changing a registry key, or shipping a CD with the site on it, or putting it on the internet. Hey guys, Just a quick question regarding the homepage of the website, does it have to be index.html? or can it be index.php for example? The reason is that i want to use SSI include scripts on the homepage, but this cannot obviously be done on a html page! Cheers Craig Barbs75 I'm having trouble with some browsers opening my website. Some people go to the homepage and just see a blank page with the contact details at the bottom. I know the website isn't the most fancy in the world, but it's my first and does the job for now. I can view it fine. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong and how it could be fixed? My website is www.lagganoutdoor.co.uk Hope you can help. Many thanks in advance. Duncan. i need the code in html when any one opens my website in mozilla firefox the user is prompted to view the website in INTERNET Explorer . while if the user opens the website in IE he is not prompted to any action. and the action required may be in pop up form or attention message form. please help me put as soon as possible. and the code must work for any browser because i need my website to be viewed in IE only. can go through the URL ... please view it in IE and firefox there is a difference is spacing the table if u can fix this or can make the prompting it will be fine http://ims-sc.org/SPORTS/members.html Hello forum, I have a very simple question which I can't solve: My html code looks something like this (in index.html with a directory of 'next/' which has the file index.html: HTML Code: <html><head /><body> <a href="next/">Continue</a> </body></html> Then when the link is clicked, it gets a permission error (meaning the browser can't find anything in the directory). Why is this? Shouldn't it automatically get into the index.html? thanks in advance, drmota I use a program (Guardian) to send me notifications when an error occurs on my site (404, 403 etc.) These notices contain the URL causing the error and the referring URL. Lately I have been getting numerous notifications with URLs to directories without index files (On a side note, these URLs also contain within them, urls to other sites. I assume this is some spammer technique and I am not too concerned about this in this post but if someone can shed some light on how/why they (the spammers) do this I would appreciate it.) My purpose in posting here is to find out about the use of index files in directories. I have read that this is a good idea, but I have yet to hear why except that in case someone navigates to the URL of the directory rather than the actual page URL, then they will not get a 403 error message, but this seems like a rather weak reason to me. Is there another reason? SEO reason? Technical reason? If I find good reason to do this, is it enough to just put a blank index file in each directory? If so why? What purpose does it serve (aside from thwarting the spammers doing what I described above.) Thanks in advance for your help. hi this is my 1st post and i am so desperate needing help i recently did a website.. the site is viewing fine in Mac safari, windows opera and firefox.. but when comes to IE, the table is in a mess.. can someone help me? i can upload the file if possible.. below is the pictures. Opera: IE: Hi All, Quick question, Is there anyway you can stop people viewing your source code in there browsers? by that i mean im building a website and im spending alot of time on it and i dont want people to take bits and pieces from it......im kind of answering my own question here by saying no you cant but maybe someone else has a different view? Thanks I am creating my first web page through HTML using notepad. How do I view it (without publishing it) on a web page? What ive done right now is open internet explorer to a blank page (meaning not connected to the internet) and I thought id be able to view it by opening up view code and then cut and pasting my code into it that way. It didnt work! Im stuck and Im trying to get creative to find the answer but am not finding one. If anyone knows- a simple and VERY detailed explanation would be great! Im very new to the web- thanks in advance! Hi Guys. I recently updated my website, I moved my company logo so it would be above my main navigation, however by doing this I needed to change the .css slightly (the "Stage" width was altered - this was the only thing I changed). By doing this it allowed for a slightly newer navigation layout which you can view HERE. However since I have done this, the website is no longer viewable properly using a Mac (it still looks fine on a PC) why would this have changed? (I took a screen grab of what I mean - you can view it HERE I'm not a pro by any means, I have self taught myself but I am seriously stumped by this. Any help is welcome! I finally figured out how to add text to my index and now I have another question. In my website template There is Heading 1 and a Heading 2 so my question is how do I delete any sections or headings that I don't need to make it go away on my home page. There is so much and I don't think I need all of it..... Thanks in advance I am still new to the web page world, but the website I originally created (in japanese) was passed on to a programmer. He did a lot of "upgrades" to the site so he says, but he left. Now I am in charge again of re-modeling the site. The problem is I am trying to figure out why there are so many dead links. I have looked up and down the server, but can't find anything. Ok before I confuse anyone else here is what I am talking about. For example this page that I originally made : Code: http://www.discoveryfirm.com/tokushu/index.html cannot be found but if I take of the end: http://www.discoveryfirm.com/tokushu/ the page is there. Now I am trying to fix a lot of dead links, but I cannot figure out what the programmer did to the site. I am still new to all the high-tech features in the web world. Could somebody please explain. i just started working on addicted2ally.com, and for some reason, my index.html is showing the text of the html instead of well, doing it lol helppp!?
