Help with my URL: http:.//www.httpcity.com/TRIPLEL/

Why can't I get My html to play.

Cecil,

Your problem is that you don't have an index.html file, which is the first file that a web browser looks at when going to a directory that does not name a page (index.html works as a default page).

So when you go to:http://www.httpcity.com/TRIPLEL

what you are really telling your browser to look for is a page with the name "index" in the TRIPLEL directory. If this page does not exist, it will display the files in your directory (like it is doing now).

You have created a page at: http://www.httpcity.com/TRIPLEL/TRIPLEL.html

This leaves you with two options.

1. rename your page from TRIPLEL.html, to index.html (recemmended)

2. Promote your site using: http://www.httpcity.com/TRIPLEL/TRIPLEL.html
(not recemmended, this will just make your URL appear longer than necessary, and the point of hosting at httpcity.com is to have a nice short URL.)

Let me know if you run into any problems.

I'm just getting into html programming. I have a site I am building and I'm not sure wich page I should label as index.html.
Should I designate my primary frameset page(I have 2) as the index? Or the single file that holds all of my pages with gifs, colors, and everything else as index.html. It is currently only labeled as website_a.
please let me know if I'm talking chinese. http://talkboard.123webmaster.com/ubbhtml/smile.gif

Hi Kazzi,
If you are using frames, you should call your skeleton page, (the page that holds your frames together that has your frame set in it) as your index.html.
Good luck.
