Thanks jettrue
Yes, having looked the menu does work in ie6 when the address does not include 'www.'
And yes I would like it to use the www.
I made the .htaccess file using the additions as follows:
Code:
## Add these to your .htaccess file so that only one way to your site exists, either http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com ... the following adds the www if it's missing:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^africanartandmasks.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.africanartandmasks.com/$1 [R=301,L]
## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:
##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc
So now when you type africanartandmasks.com the www. is added. However with this addition the menu does not work.
I changed it to
Code:
## Add these to your .htaccess file so that only one way to your site exists, either http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com ... the following adds the www if it's missing:
##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^africanartandmasks.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.africanartandmasks.com/$1 [R=301,L]
## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.africanartandmasks.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://africanartandmasks.com/$1 [R=301,L]
## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc
And all appears to be working (except now the www. is stopped but I can live with that!). I am very grateful for your help, thanks.
