Hi, Could someone refer me to the URL of the current HTTP URL specifiction RFC. My question may be answered there, but I will ask it anyway: We use "intro.html" as our default page for each directory. So, in one directory I may refer to the relative URL href="sub-dir/" to get the file "sub-dir/intro.html" When in that directory, I can use a relative URL href="file1.html" to get to that file in the same directory. My problem is this - how do I refer to the default file "intro.html" while in the same directory without having to name it explicitly. Is href="./" valid, or even just href="."? I expect it is *supported* but that's not the point. The reason we don't want to explicilty name the file "intro.html" is quite a valid one: Many indexing/searching programs *assume* that the reference href="sub-dir/" means "sub-dir/index.html" and so will take "sub-dir/intro.html" as a different file, mis-indexing us. Please reply to me and I will summarise to the list. Glen ============================================================== Glen Monks, UKOLN, http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/~lisgm/ 01225-826450
