I am trying to upload a webpage which i designed in 1st Page 2000. I saved the webpage in my documents and renamed it index, its filepath is now C:\My Documents\ND CAD Website\index.htm.

In Fileman File Management section, under Web directory are the following headings: - Stats, Index.htm (which contains my webpage after I uploaded it from My Docs, minus images) and Index.html which was already in the list and contains all the Personalise your Home Page stuff.

Have I gone wrong somewhere, i keep reading that my webpage file must be called index.html. Does this mean i have done the right thing renaming it Index? It is now called Index.htm though, hence the confusion. I saved it as a complete web page (.html/*htm) in My Docs and can't see how else to call it index.html. When i saved it, .htm was added to the end not .html.

When i go to www.nd-cad.co.uk/index or index.htm, i can view the webpage minus images (how do i get those back on the site?), but when i go to www.nd-cad.co.uk or www.nd-cad.co.uk/index.html, i still see the personalise your home page information. Ive tried to upload my webpage into index.html but it has added it to the Web list rather than to Index.html.

Could somebody explain what I have done wrong and also, can I edit my website once it is online? I put a 'please contact...' followed by an email address on the site but when i click on the email address, it does not insert it into the To: field on the email. Why not?

Can anyone else view my site at www.nd-cad.co.uk/index?

If so, please tell me where i am going wrong as I am completely new to web page design and am finding FTP even more difficult!!!!

Cheers

For the Concact You have it codeded as <A href="mailto:"><FONT
color=#0d1abd>nigel.daw@virgin.net</A> You need to set the href="mailto:nigel.daw@virgin.net"

For the images You have your images pointed at the wrong place. <IMG src="N D COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN LTD_files/Centre instrument panel (3).jpg" width=447 border=0> You need to make sure the IMG src is pointed at the folder on your webserver that has the images; usually there is a folder inside your server named "images". change your img src to something like the following <IMG src="images/panel.jpg" width=447 border=0>. Rename you images something simple like "panel.jpg" instead of "Centre instrument panel (3).jpg". After you have renamed you images, make sure you transfer them into the images folder. If you don't have a images folder create one.

For the .htm/.html It doesn't matter if it's called index.htm or index.html just make sure you only have either one, and not both. The server will load it by default.
I hope this helps you some.

Thanks for your advice

It looks easy enough to follow except the images on the webserver bit, where do i go to see if I have an images file? Is my webserver my ISP?

Thanks

FTP into you account. If you don't know how to do this, then just transfer the images the same way you do the index.htm file from whatever program you are using. If you can't create a folder called "images", then just put the images in the same directory as the index.htm file. If you put the images in the same directory as the index.htm file then the img src should equal "image_name.file_extension". If you put the images in a different directory as the index.htm, then the img src should equal "folder_name/image_name.file_extension"
