My html file is not shown when my page link is used in internet explorer, it is shown as a file in my server directory, to display it I have to click on the file, it then opens . Should I be adding something to my html document. Please point me in the right direction.
In general, the Web server is set up to choose a file to display if the filename is not specified. Generally, the file chosen is one called index.html (some servers use default.html instead). So is the same as .
If index.html doesn’t exist, a directory listing will be displayed, which is what you’re seeing. To get the file to display automatically, just change its name to index.html (or whatever your server’s default is — your hosting provider’s tech support can tell you this).

If it is home page, you have to rename it to be INDEX.HTML or HOME.HTML
