    what do you mean it wont work? where is it being run from? i presume its running on IIS, and that the code is valid and it actually works. otherwise browser compatibility is usually not a problem when using html. sometimes if you are using javascript you can run into problems. seems very odd. give us more info.

    its just on my own pc, not on the web at all,
    i made a basic site using html and it worked fine on internet explorer.

    then i wanted to use dreamweaver to add in asp chat room and message board log in etc.
    to use dreamweaver i changed all the extensions to .asp

    now the site wont work in explorer, just netscape,

    the root folder is in my c drive, inetpub folder, wwwroot

    to access it in netscape i use http://localhost/paudie/homepage.asp

    this doesnt work for explorer, before when they were .html i just clicked the homepage and it came up, now they open in dreamweaver unless i type in the above adress in netscape, would the adress be different for explorer maybe?


    its for a college project.

    thanks

    Is Internet Explorer set up to go through a proxy? You need to tell it to ignore the proxy for local hostnames.

    Tools->Internet Options->Connections->Lan Settings->Proxy Server->Advanced


    What are you getting when you type that into IE anyways? Action Canceled? Not Found?

    Hmm try http://127.0.0.1/paudie/homepage.asp

    Just might work.

    otherwise tell IE to ignore the proxy for localhost explicitly.
