Is there a problem with naming a page using a period instead of the under score as in "index.html" instead of "index_html".
Yes; it's poor user-interface architecture. See below.
Are you under the mistaken apprehension that _anyone_ _ever_ types "index.html" unless they're a) told to, or b) trying to be clever and look for a directory without one?
However, if you are migrating a site to Zope, you might find your old users have managed to bookmark the 'index.html' pages and such (usually as a result of dodgy web server configuration or poor HTML coding).
Aw, hell. Good point, Stuart.
If you need to catch these cases, you just have to create a DTML method called 'index.html' at the root of your Zope tree, with the following contents: <dtml-var index_html>
Can you _do_ that without the . confusing Zope? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth jra@baylink.com Member of the Technical Staff Buy copies of The New Hackers Dictionary. The Suncoast Freenet Give them to all your friends. Tampa Bay, Florida http://www.ccil.org/jargon/ +1 813 790 7592
