Greetings,

I'm working on updating a site for a customer, and the server she's
currently on uses index.htp as the default file for each directory.
Probably because of that, the original web designer used the htp extension
for all his files.

In order to show her the updates before actually changing her site, I've
uploaded the files to a directory on my site,
http://www.mighty-sites.com/josepha/
and changed the name of the index page to index.htm.
The site looks fine with IE5,  but Netscape just gives me the html source
code for the .htp files. Unfortunately, I think she uses netscape as a
browser.

The part I don't understand is that her original site looks fine using
netscape, even though every single html file has an htp extension.  How does
that work? is her server sending the message that htp files contain valid
html? What mechanism does it use to do that?

Thanks for any info,
Kim
