Hello all, I am trying to update my website using ssi to replace a frameset. If I want to use ssi in my index page, how can I do this? index.shtml is not recognized automatically, firefox puts me into "index of /"...

That is a server setting. When you specify just the domain or just a directory, the server will check for the existence of a list of index pages. If none is found, then the server may default to showing the contents of the directory - again a server setting. You will need to modify the list of possible index pages that the server will look for to include index.shtml Michael J

Thanks Michael, One problem - as I'm not hosting the content myself I cannot change the server settings - I would therefore need to create index.html and do some sort of auto forwarding to index.shtml. How do I do this?

Include this tag in the head of your index.htm page: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://MyDomain.com/index.shtml"> The number 2 represents the number of seconds before the page is redirected to the new page. The url= value is the page to redirect to. I don't know if you can set the value to 0, so it may be shomewhat of a cumbersome workaround. Instead I would create an index.htm page that is just an entry page to the site, then create a home.htm page for the actual home page. Michael J
