1,092 PointsI can't find the reason the preview sends me to an index of the folders!
I hope someone can help me out. Here's a screenshot of my code :/ http://i57.tinypic.com/5vppnb.png

Treehouse TeacherIt needs to be index.html -- lowercase i in index.
Web servers are setup to serve a default file -- often named index.html -- when no specific file is requested. For example, when you just visit a web site like http://mysite.com/, the web server sees that there is no file specified so it looks for the default -- a file named 'index.html' and send that. Works the same when you specify a folder and not file name: http://mysite.com/folder/

Treehouse TeacherHi Daniel Paiewonsky Are you talking about Workspaces? When you preview a page from workspaces, it defaults to the root of the web site. You shouldn't place your index.html file inside a the subfolder named "html". Move it outside that folder up one level and when you preview, that index.html page will load.

Treehouse TeacherDo you have a file named index.html in that top level?
Daniel Paiewonsky

Dave McFarland
Treehouse TeacherNot sure. Can you take a picture of your workspace and post it in here?
