dropping the suffix

[wjlevin]

Hi:

Can someone tell me how I can get my website to assume a .html suffix so that
browsers don't have to add the suffix all the time? ie: instead of typing
[url]www.predictum.com/dynamic.html[/url] - I'd like the user to just have to ype
[url]www.predictum.com/dynamic[/url] - and have it automatically go to dynamic/html.

Is there an easy way to handle this in Dreamweaver CS3???

Many thanks in advance!!!

Dreamweaver can´t do this, as it works with real files and not "alias" --
something like this needs to be done by the server, e.g. your local and remote
Apache server may (or may not, depends on the configuration provided by the
server admin) have a "rewrite engine" module
([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_rewrite[/url]) installed, which could be configured
to do what you want.

It´s a tricky thing though, and an easier option were to place your e.g.
current "dynamic.html" in a subdirectory named "dynamic" and rename the file to
"index.html" -- the reason behind this approach is: servers are usually
configured to automatically load an existing "index.htm(l)" file from whatever
directory in case no file name has been supplied, means linking to
"www.predictum.com/dynamic" would load this file.
