The first page of your site must be called index.html.

This should then link to folders as appropriate.

If you have uploaded your site and are having problems with display of images, operation of frames etc. this may be because you are not adhering to the accepted protocols for Unix servers:

Unix servers are case sensitive
i.e. index.html is not the same as Index.html
MYPHOTO.jpg is not the same as myphoto.jpg

Keep file names lower case - NO CAPITALS

filenames must only include:

letters a –z
numbers 0 -9
dash (-)
one full stop as a separator between filename and extension
do not include any spaces
Do not use special characters (* ! etc.)

Name your files sensibly. Filenames should sensibly & succinctly describe the nature of the file & should be mnemonic. Keep names short and stick to names that mean something to you - not just now but in 6 months time.

Use folders to organise your files . Do not have long lists of loose files.
Decide on the structure of your site before you start - moving files around after you have uploaded your site can cause problems.

Remember suffixes (.jpg, .html, .aif etc.) on all your files. This will save you a lot of frustration when transferring files to PC from Mac - PCs won't recognise files without a suffix.

Frames
Problems with frames and in particular iFrames are not due to any server incompatibilities but the complexity of file paths and the mis-naming of files by mixing lower and upper case letters. If your frames do not work it is YOUR problem and you need to check your site thoroughly. For other reasons (navigation, asthetics) we do not advise the use of frames, unless there is a very good reason.
