How to make Link without .htm work ???

[sreets74]

I'm fairly new to web design - I use MS Expression Web - I've created a registration form on a travel website, and am wondering how one can access it without typing in the .htm (EX: the flyer says to go to www.preferrednaples.com/birthdaybash - however - the link doesn't work unless the .htm is added) How can I make it work so that people can type the web address into the address bar without the .htm? Many thanks!

I'm not sure if you can use .htaccess redirects to go directory url to page url, i've never had occasion to try it. The following will work for you though...

create a folder called called 'birthdaybash' then upload the page you want to appear as index.html into that folder- if you have links to other pages on your site, on that page, remember that you need to reflect the change of location - so a link that would have been 'anotherpage.html' would have to become '../anotherpage.html' the ../ taking it back up a directory

if you've a lot of links / images on the page that you'll need to update to the ../ thing, don't bother - there are simpler ways it can be redirected.
