When
creating a Web site (or a Web page), there are a few rules for creating
filenames. These rules not only apply to HTML files, but to any file or
document that is part of your Web site.
- Use lower-case letters in your file names. You may use upper-case
letters, but do so sparingly. Uploading files with capitals into WebCT
can create problems. Some older browsers do not locate files that are
not exactly specified.
|
|
- Only use numbers and letters in your file names. File names must
begin with a letter (not a number). Special characters, except those
noted below, should not be used – including #, & and comma. Do not use
any spaces within a filename.
|
|
- Representing spaces within a filename: You may use the underscore
(‘_’) character or the dash (‘-‘) character to represent a space in a
filename.
|
|
- File extensions: Use .htm or .html as the file extension when you
name your HTML files. Be consistent with the convention you use.
