What are the default filenames IE & Netscape check for when somebody types "
I've tried 'default.asp' but all I get is a directory listing, any ideas please? [sig]<p>ahdkaw<br><a href=mailto:ahdkaw@ots.zzn.com>ahdkaw@ots.zzn.com</a><br><a href= anythign can go wrong, it will'[/sig]
 
Actually, it is the web server that processes the default file to show when a user makes a request at the folder level (doesn't specify a page). The web server administrator can add any number of default pages to check and in what order. Out of the box, IIS will look default.htm, default.asp and index.htm.

Hope this helps, [sig]<p>Rob<br><a href=mailto:robschultz@yahoo.com>robschultz@yahoo.com</a><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
