htm vs html

FrontPage 2000
My school server required you to have a index.html
extention to auto load the home page. FrontPage defaults
to index.htm. With this file name I have not problems
with adding navigation bars and keeping them.

Once I change the file name to index.html so I can use it
on my university server, I'm not able to keep the
navigation bar information on the page evern after a save.

What is causing this problem and how do I correct it in
FrontPage to keep the navigation bar information on an
index.html file name?

thanks,

Keep using index.htm in FrontPage, but also create a page
named index.html consisting solely of this:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=index.htm">
<title>Redirect to Home Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="default.htm">Home Page</a>
</body>
</html>

Rename the index.htm to index.html (ignore the warning) in Folder List and run Tools recalculate hyperlinks
Then go in to View Navigation and make sure your pages are under index.html and it has the home icon in it

My experience with University server admins proves that you probably won't
get far with this, but you might try asking them to add index.htm to the
list of approved home page names. It's really a no-brainer to configure on
just about any server. Any ISP (read: someone you pay money to for
webhosting) typically has a list of common default file names just to avoid
creating problems for their customers. It's a shame that your admins
haven't thought of doing the same.
