I have a .com address with 1&1 webhosting.
I am using Dreamweaver to build my site.
Everything is working so far, but I have one issue. It may be simple to resolve, but I don’t know what to do.
Right now, when you go to mysite.com, an error page comes up, but when you go to mysite.com/index.html, my home page pops up.
I want to make it so that you don’t have to type in index.html to get to my home page.
I want mysite.com to redirect to mysite.com/index.html without the visitor typing the whole thing in.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
Before I answer ill need to know somethings first.
1 are you hosting this site on your own computer or some other host.
in any case you need to set that index.html as the default page.
in my case I’m hosting my site on my Mac server at home and in the settings I can set what file will display when someone hits my .com
you can try this as well make a 2 copy’s of the index.html
rename one default.html and or .htm
rename one index.htm
it’s possible that it just doesn’t like the .html
hope this helps if not post more info on how the site is being hosted.
If it’s an external hosting look for the setting that will point to the .html to htm file
when i make my webpage in dreamweaver cs3, is just the main page called index.html?
index.htm[l] is a default page that will be fetched by the server if the user accesses the site/dir without specifying file name
I.e. http://yourSite/yourDir/ and http://yourSite/yourDir/index.html will fetch the same file, the idea is that you have ONE index.htm[l] file per directory…
The rest of the pages can be called anything you like them to be called…

I was thinking of turning off Dreamweaver’s code writing, and doing it myself, because of all the unnecessary code DW writes.
Ironically enough, I do most of my work in Dreamweaver in "code view" not design view. No matter what you’re doing, it’s always good to have a look at the code now and again.
I’ve noticed that even when Dreamweaver is SUPPOSED to be in XML-compliant code, I still sometimes see it trying to insert a <br> instead of a <br /> when I press SHIFT-Enter in Design View.
Personally I don’t like the Split option where you get both views at once. It just makes the screen too cluttered. Besides it’s so easy to just press Ctrl ` (on Windows/PC versions) to easily switch back and forth from one view to another… in fact, that’s exactly what I do when I want a quick peek at what the code I’m writing "looks like" without having to go to view it in an external web browser.
I am writing a company newsletter and I would like to send it through Outlook mail. The problem is after I designed the newsletter in Dreamweaver and put the code in outlook it does not come up. Just the html code is displaying. Can someone please help me with making my newsletter viewable.
Can’t just dump html code onto an email in any email client. You must load the newsletter as an html file which it is.

Only your client’s will see the html newsletter if they have opted to receive HTML and not text only email.

I made a site with Dreamweaver that has frames and within those frames I have different html pages that load into them. I came across an extension once which I believe prevented those pages from coming up in Google searches but cannot relocate it. These pages are just bare text and should not be accessed by themselves.
Google will index any page that is linked to by another page. If you want to prevent this, one solution is to add a rel="nofollow" attribute to your anchor tag. For example,
<a href="/stayout/plain.html" rel="nofollow">
Alternatively (and a more universal solution), you can add the path to those pages to a robots.txt file so that search crawlers won’t index them. For more info on how to create a robots.txt file, here’s one resource. There are many more on the web.

Our company had another business here in town create our website, but they are no longer in business. We want to update our site, but how do I go about doing that without having the original file(s) on our computer? I know the ftp site, but that’s about all!
Any help at all would be great!
Hi,
It’s quite an easy task. – But admittedly, it can be quite daunting if your not really into all that.
You need a program that you can access your FTP with, something like CuteFTP is perfect. Alternatively, use dreamweaver’s FTP settings.
Once you have the sites FTP details (Username + password) you will need to download the whole site onto your computers. (when I say whole site, i mean everything that resides in what is usually called the ‘public’ folder. Or sometimes ‘content’.
Once you have that, you can made the changes to the html pages, and then replace your new pages over their older counterparts.
I’m an online marketing exec myself so I do this all the time. – If you need any more help, just comment and I’ll be able to help…

OK. I am Lost! I made a website using photoshop, sliced it, made links on dreamweaver, and all that. Now I made the Home page, about us, contact, etc. and i have the image files and everything and i uploaded through ftp. But it the site does not show up!!! I am thinking it might have been because I have no index.html file. How do I get this or how do I make one? Please HELP ME!!!
Just rename the home page you built and upload it again. If you have links that refer it to it by the old name, that copy is still there. You just need a copy to show up when someone just types the domain name.
