I hope someone might be able to help me.

I have a url: http://www.site.com/folder that I want to redirect to
http://www.site.com/folder/page.html Another thing to note is that the folder and its pages are in the root of a Lotus Notes server.

How would I be able to achieve this? I have tried a 301 redirect and it doesn't work with subfolders.

Your opinions & advice is greatly appreciated.:)

Try:


<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args[i]+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="MM_goToURL('parent','http://www.site.com/folder/page.html');return document.MM_returnValue">
<div align="center"><strong>Loading... Please wait!</strong><br>
(If nothing happens in 10 seconds please click <a href="http://www.site.com/folder/page.html"><strong>here</strong></a>)</div>
</body>
</html>

I appreciate your reply. I must not have mentioned that I want to direct a URL that I am advertising as "www.site.com/foldername" to www.site.com/foldername/index.html . So, essentially, there is no source available to insert the above code, b/c it's a folder users will type in the address.

In other words, I have advertised the /foldername of my website and I would like a solution a server-side script to redirect the user to my "/foldername/index.html" page.

Do let me know if there is a server-side solution you might know of.

Thanks.

You can place it in the index.html as this is the default when not file is specified. ALL browsers go to an index page although they don't show the index.*** unless you type it in.

The only way to NOT have this happen is to not have an index page in that folder.

You can also try the meta redirect:



<META http-equiv=REFRESH content="0;URL=http://www.site.com/folder/file.html">


Again this would go in the <head> of the index page
