Greetings, and thanks for any help you can provide.

I am an actor and have created my own rudmentary website using Front Page 2003 - www.larrycedar.com. I have a Dell Dimension B110 running Windows XP SP2. The problem is that when I update my site (I added a flash video to the home page) , the changes appear on other computers, but not my own unless I enter www.larrycedar.com/index.html as the web address in my browser. For some reason, despite clearing my cache, cookies, etc., the older version of the index.html page is still somewhere on my hard drive (I have no idea where) and is being accessed when I enter only www.larrycedar.com as the address.

Again, if you go to the page yourself you won't have this problem. It's only on my computer only.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Larry

Hi Larry,

Now, I am usually useless when it comes to computers, but I do have a little experience with HTML, so in this case I may be able to help. Did you try searching your hard drive for the original "index.html" file so you could delete it? I don't know how may other web pages you have created, but if you only have a few you can probably locate it very easily and get rid of it. If you do have a lot of index.html files, and you have the time, try organizing them all into newly created folders named with some clue as to what page they support (for example, the index.htm file for your skiing page could be put into a folder titled "skiing") and grouping all these folders together somewhere, so you can easily find them in the future. This is what I do when I am creating pages; I have all my subfolders organized into a main folder labeled "Web Construction" on my desktop. Anyone else out there reading this with more experience than I: If you find my advice to be ridiculous, misinformed, or useless, please let Larry and I know...as I said, my advice usually sucks.

Hope this helps!

By the way, when I click on www.larrycedar.com, the page will not open on my computer, but when I click on www.larrycedar.com/index.html, the page works fine...

Could be because there was a typo in the link. A ')' found it's way there!

www.larrycedar.com works just fine for me.

Hmm, you're right, I didn't notice that before. Anyway it works just fine for me too now Larry, so don't get alarmed. And your site looks great by the way !
