How to save a file as HTML?

I can't upload my main webpage. I heard you have to save it as index.html, but how to do that? I got a code layout form another site, and have edited it mostly to my likeing. But when I save it in word, it saves it as index.htm, not index.html. And in word i can only get it to say as a 'webpage' not as Html...*looks blank* Help please?

Re: How to save a file as HTML?

You should get yourself an html editor.
Goto www.download.com and do a search.
Even google *html editor*.
CUTE HTML editor is a good editor for beginners.
Dreamweaver for advance.
I'm not sure whats free now a days, but they do exist.
Copy the code you have in word, into the html editor, and "save as" *index* and select *html* from the drop down box

Oh, 1 more thing

It's not cool to copy code from 1 someone elses web page, to yours. To minimize the *un-coolness*, make sure you save the images and upload them them to YOUR web space (and change the links)

htm-html


If you don't have an index.html, index.htm will do. If both exist index.html will have "priority".

We could have a look to see why not, but then you have to show an URL to your site...

Re: How to save a file as HTML?

You have to upload all images files separately
to the same account as your html files.

Your image html codes must match your exact image name
and location online.

If you storing images in folder called images you use

for jpg images
and
for gif images

If the images and html files are together in same
or main folder only.
then you use



You should be using one of these
two codes.
You have to use your actual image names of course.

Use only these charactors in your files names
A-Z,a-z,and digits 0-9.

The names canot have spaces in them nor puncutation
symbols.

If filename is lowercase your html must use only lowercase.
Case makes a difference.

I'm sorry, but i still don't understand. Call be stupid but...i don't get it...sorry, could you try to explain it diffrentely?

Re: Re: Re: How to save a file as HTML?

When you upload a site you have upload many many files.

1.All images files for every picture used.
2.All your files with the .html or htm ext also.
3.You also need to use your online image urls
ie in your page codes.

If post your site url it will help.
