Please view this in Firefox and let me know how to change the code.

Thanks in advanced,
Kati

Did you just recently upload this site or make changes before this happened? I'd try uploading again and see if that helps. I can't see why this occurs for you, and I've never seen it happen before. Can't spot anything wrong with the code. What version of Visual Site Designer are you using?

Kati Marie,

It looks like your home page is named "home" when it should be named something like "home.html"

You can check using FTP and actually look at the site files.

The version of my VSD is 5.9.4

The reason the page file is only home vs. home.html is because of my navigation menu. Instead of haveing to use the CC Flash Menu Builder and fix the links. Then go back and use VSD on each web site file used on this site to change the navigation. I desided to use the HTML editor to take out the (.html) in the code and just change the file name.

I sometimes think of different ways to do things. I didn't know that it would effect the FF browser.

I will reverse my changes and try what I seamed like the longer way to do it.

Thank you.

web page do need an extension, like .html .htm .php and others for them to display properly (depnding on the code uses, of course). That was a good catch Bill. I am supprised the I.E. was able to display the web pages without the .html at all.

..except I copied Kati's code from her page to Word, saved it as an html file, then clicked on the file. It open in FF the same way as on her site. Even with the correct extension.

I, too, wish that Fire starter integrated better with VSD.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Bass4Uphill,

I just saved the code into Notepad, saved as all files (so it would not save as home.html.txt) and saved the file. It works great with Firefox 2.0.0.19 other than missing some images and flash.

This can be a bit confusing. When you save as html using Word, the content of the page is converted to html code. If the content of page itself is already html code, as it is in your test, then you need to save the page as plain text. However, you must use the .html extension rather than .txt.

I was thinking about this just after I posted my previous message. I have Windows set to show all file extensions, so I guess that also avoids the problem of software adding a second extension to the extension you've given if your extension doesn't match the file type you've chosen to save as.

I think we have got off track.
Kati, Do I understand you to say that you created the site with CC Firestarter, CC Menu Builder and CC VSD and then used the html editor to alter the VSD-generated code?

I do not know what you mean by 'navigation menu' 'fix the links' etc.

I gave up on CC Menu builder as it gave me nothing I could not do more conveniently with VSD. It worked great to set up a page with a menu but the problem I had (as I have had with other CC products) is that of integrating it with VSD to effect a change. Set up is easy and slick. Integrating changes are not so easy. (I have whined about this before).

I am off track again. It is so human, is it not, when one is confronted with a problem to turn and solve an different, easier, problem?

Kati, did it work in VSD preview before you edited the code? I see that if you reversed your changes, etc. it has made no difference to the operation of the site.

So, boys and girls, how do we best advise our Kati?
