The extension required actually depends on the way the server is setup. So does the name
of the index file. IIS defaults you default page in each directory to default.html
The server that hosts my web space defaults to home.html I'm sure that these settings can
be changed.

I'm finding this w/ and w/o "l" business a bit frustrating too. The main page (ie Index) *has* to use .html as an extension, otherwise it won't open. Other pages feeding off of it can use .htm as an extension. I don't know if there is a setting somewhere that dictates this.

That's interesting, Frits. It does open right away after the "l" is added.
I've opened hundreds of sites with .htm (instead of .html) as a suffix,
and for some reason this site is crippled without the L appended.
Obviously my knowledge of why this happens is incomplete. . .
The suffixes ".htm" and ".html" are not interchangeable, as I thought
they were.
