HTML/Website building question

[Marcos]

Hello

i have a quick question, you know how some websites have a link that looks like:

bbc.co.uk/radio1

where the end of it does not point to a page, it points to a directory but still takes you to a specific page. How do you do that?

because right the page i want people to see is at

http://www.marcosmoreno.org/design/home.html

But i'd like them to only have to type

http://www.marcosmoreno.org/design

to get there, but right now that takes them to the dirctory

rename home.html to index.html

If you have apache, you use .htaccess to get addresses to point to certain pages.

e.g.

RewriteRule ^articles/([^/]+)/$       article.php?article=$1

This means that every time you go to anything with an address that starts with 'articles', following by a slash, followed by any number of characters so long as it is not another slash (this is the bit inside the brackets), and finishing with a slash, you are redirected to article.php?article=$1, where $1 is the bit in the brackets.

Your case is slightly simpler, since it is a certain address to a certain page i.e.

RewriteRule ^design$     design/home.html

Using index.html will work as well, but using rewrite allows you to change paths to whatever you like, regardless of directory structure.
