Roy:

I get the same page, but I can navigate around. There's nothing on the "text" page or the "home" page and the "pictures" page says "under construction".

Thank you Frank.
Iseem to be "locked" into this page, don't know what to do.

How do you edit it Roy?

[Spycam]

I had a Blueyonder personal Web Page for ages, it was great. then Virgin Media came along and I got stuck with this rubbish - Ican setup a Blueyonder page and publish it, butjust get that same page and it won't edit. I think I need to delete it somehow.

the links have the same http address as your home page.

I think there may be a file missing from the same directory as index.htm - data.js.
Check the source for the page. It appears to want to load this file near the beginning.

Note that if a file is called index.htm it will automatically be sent to the browser unless a specific filename is included. That's why your home page should always be called index.htm.

I think you will find your information is in error! The site is already prime and would not load at all if the index.htm[l] was not present. Also the scripts ie. general.css (the cascading style sheet) and the JavaScripts data.js and menus.js are both present, as I have checked and downloaded both! And can find no error apart from the mItems/links not being set up fully.

It looks to me as if you have sent the wrong file to the Server Roy, if you are not seeing what you should.

I just wondered if Roy had made a new index page, uploaded it under a name other than index.htm(l) and expected it to work.

I'm not sure what the priority is between htm and html extensions. It depends on the server setup. I do know that if you have both an htm and an html index file only one of them works automatically 'cos I've done it. :-)

I must admit that I didn't attempt to download any of the associated files - that was just an idea that I had.

Mick ...

You are right of course, if the Server address is given without a load extension, the Server will deliver the index.htm[l] file as default, as would be the case for any directory without a qualifier, if a base index file is not present it will default to providing an indexing of the directory, or if indexing is not allowed - which is usually the case - will give a Server Error. As you say if Roys basepage file has another name it would have to be included in the URL, but looking at the index file, the site has been built with a page builder program which will usually default the base page to index. For your info, the .htm/.html extensions are set from the Server config file and can of course be set to anything required, but normally are set to default as index.htm/html, and/or including a default scripting extension also. In High End Servers - usually Linux/Apache - the httpd.conf file in Apache is where the base settings are made, and can only be adjusted by the Host Server staff from Linux, and cannot be adjusted via a user in a general host account, hope that clears up the htm[l] default for you, obviously if two files exist with .html and .htm it will take the initial file set as priority, as would be the case with any file check loader. Also something worth noting, if you save a webpage from windows it will normally save the file as .htm even if the server has served it as a .html file.
