We have a company web site designed on UltraDev. The address is www.companyname.co.uk. We are about to place an advert in a newspaper and wish to direct readers straight to a particular section of the website, e.g., www.companyname.co.uk/newsection but when we try to do this we always end up having to use an .html extension, i.e., www.companyname.co.uk/newsection.html, otherwise it fails.

Is there a way to direct people to the correct page without the .html extension?

Any help much appreciated.

If you want to go to

www.companyname.co.uk/newsection

it is possible without the .htm extension. You will need to place the newsection.html in a folder called 'newsection' and rename the web page index.htm. Then the web browser will look for the folder 'newsection' and the web server will serve up the default page i.e. index.htm
