Hi LouAnn,
I am sorry but I am still not sure that I have correctly identified your problem.
I am working on the basis that you are trying to do the following: You have two families "Smith" and "Brown" whose trees overlap on your web site, you wish to keep them separate but at the same time link them together.
If you create two folders "smith" and "brown" both containing the individual family trees, each will contain files with the same names eg *20.htm*. This doesn't matter nor does the fact that both folders will contain *index.htm* files.
You now need an *index.htm* file outside the folders. If you wish this could be either smith's or brown's with added links to the other files either to their index files (or any individual should you so wish) or you could write a new index file linking to both. The syntax for linking a file in the brown folder to a file in the smith folder is: <.a href="../smith/name.htm" target="blank".> Smith<./a.> (ignore the dots in the angle brackets) and vice versa for "brown". Note the two dots before the slash. To link the initial index file (ie the one not in a folder) to either of the folders only one dot before the slash would be required.
If this doesn't answer the question perhaps you could post your website address and I'll have a look at it.
Ron

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] help with webpages
Hi Ron and Jack,
I have a website at Geocities with several pages. The uploaded files are
all kept in one place. The filenames from the different folders are dropped
there, so I don't think Jack's method will work. I do have the pages in
different folders as you describe, on my c drive.
I made a webpage of the descendants of one ancestor and uploaded it. Then I
made another one of a different ancestor. That's when I found the problem
with the name index and source file.
I did rename the index file and the d1 file--one I left htm and the other I
made html. Then I had to go through the whole webpage code and find all the
links and add the l. Ugh.
I removed the links to the source file and names index on the second page, because I re-uploaded the files for the first data. So I can only have the index and sources for one of the Legacy pages because of the over-riding.
You said "If you wish to keep them separate then it is necessary to give
each folder a different file name." Do you mean inside the file? Like the d1
and index and source files renamed after Legacy made them? I would have to
change the d1 file name to add a third page, as well as renaming the other
files. How can I rename them before I upload them? And then I have to go
through the code and change all the link info, right? Like I had to when I
made the one d1 file html?
Because when I upload the files, the file names are not shown in the place they are kept when uploaded to Geocities. They are just "names.htm", names1.htm" etc, and "d1.htm" and "d1.html", and "index.htm", "index.htm", indexh.html".
When I used The Master Genealogist to make my Garland page, I had the choice
of naming the files whatever I wanted, so each new page I made from my
different ancestors from my main file could be a different name instead of
all "d1" like in Legacy. And the indexes and source files also are kept
together in their own file, not each separate like "names1.htm" up to
names18,htm" and just dumped into the main file for uploads. Is there any
way to put the names into a file together before uploading??
Maybe I need to use a different program to make the webpages? Maybe if I can
find enough programs that make webpages, I can get a couple from each and
end up getting most of the pages I want to make uploaded in a useable state.
It is frustrating to hit a deadend like this. I really don't want to have to
go through the code for every page and change all those links. Doing it the
one time was quite enough.
