Hi everyone,

Here is a modified version of an e-mail message that I answered for a
student.  I thought I'd provide my answer here on the web page, in case
there are other students who have the same questions.  Please note that
I have changed the student's account to h104hunt .... you should
substitute your own account name here.

If you are working at home, you will need to use either Netscape or
Internet Explorer to view your web page.  First you must save your HTML
file somewhere on either the hard drive or the floppy drive.

  1. If you are using Netscape, you'll need to select "File -> Open
     Page..." and then click on "Choose File..." and select your HTML
     file (from where you saved it on either your C: hard drive or A:
     floppy drive).  You'll be opening the file in Navigator (not
     Composer), click on "Open."

  2. If you are using MS Internet Explorer, you'll need to select "File
     -> Open..." and then click on "Browse..." and select your HTML
     file (from where you saved it on either your C: hard drive or A:
     floppy drive).

If you have saved your file in the H:\public_html folder on campus, you
can either view it on the web by typing in the complete URL into
Netscape, such as http://www.cdf.utoronto.ca/~h104hunt/index.html
(assuming your file is called index.html).  Or you could view it
locally using the instructions that I explained above (we are using
Netscape on at CDF-PC).

> URL: www.cdf.utoronto/~h104XXXX/?  I am a little confused as how to do that.

If you name your file resume.html and save it in the H:\public_html
folder, your web page address is:
  http://www.cdf.utoronto.ca/~h104hunt/resume.html

If you name your file index.html and save it in the H:\public_html
folder, your web page address is either one of these (they are the same):
  http://www.cdf.utoronto.ca/~h104hunt/index.html
  http://www.cdf.utoronto.ca/~h104hunt/
Note that index.html is a special filename, so even if you leave the
index.html out of the URL, it will still load the index.html file.
