Re: Viewing website locally

Thank you!

When you say regenerate the html pages, what do you mean? what would be the differenc between that and a crawler that creates the static pages? what i was thinking of was to organize and name the files well, and have the script go through each directory and create the pages and links accordingly.

I would just have to change ip number in the script, i guess, to use the server-on-her-pc solution. i don't think that's the best solution, but i can't back up that opinion right now.
