Hi. I've been off-line and on-love instead. Now I'm back on-line due to off-love. Is there information available of what has happened to .html extension? Many sites don't use that anymore, for example: http://www.seomoz.org/rank-checker How do I save filenames in Dreamweaver without .html? Is this only for blogs or can I use it on ordinary websites too? Please paste some useful links. Thanks, Justin.
Two ways of it... first... SEOMoz might have a index.html / index.php file in a folder called "rank-checker" so no /index.*blah* is needed. Secondly quite a lot of people use .htaccess files to do MOD_Rewrite. Do a Google search for "MOD_Rewrite tutorials"
Thanks for your reply SoftCloud. Yes, I'm familiar with .htaccess and mod rewrite. I'm looking for if this is kind of new standard, and how to do it, technical. Like should I upload websites to my domain without the .html extension? I checked Google's cache for one of my sites: mysite.com/index.html :shows up. mysite.com/index :does not shows up. So it looks like the browsers can handle the non extension, but is it backwords compatible for those maybe 20% that uses old browsers, and so on, and so on. Has wikipedia wrote about this? What does this "non-extension" calls official? Thanks, Justin.
Google's Cache thing only gets the exact page... so if Google Cache remembers 'www.foo.com/bar' then you can see that, however if the page was called 'index.html' and Google Cache saved that then it'll only be viewable by 'www.foo.com/bar/index.html' I think "non-extension" has too meaning... 1) (With .htaccess) A Page 2) (Without .htaccess) A Directory Other than that... I don't know...
Thanks for your input SoftCloud. The next site that I'll design, actually now, will be saved in .html, internal linked and uploaded without the .html extension.
