Wicked way to use google pages

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Wicked way to use google pages

Post by nitinjavakid »

Google pages provides 100 mb of webspace. But the basic problem is you cant put up your customized pages. Even if you upload your page say index.htm then the URL would be http://something.googlepages.com/index.htm.

http://something.googlepages.com this wont take you to index.htm

Fortunately google provides with html editing. So check this out

http://nitinjavakid.googlepages.com

No default homepage here.

Just wanted to show this tiny trick.

META refresh tag?

Not always supported (or turned on) of course. But handy for things such as this, when you don't have access to a .htaccess or the server.

You could always try naming the file .html instead of .htm... :roll:

Or you could try using index.php if they offer PHP support that is..

Dude! We can use a bit of javascript anywhere and everywhere(within a webpages only) :)
Add this anywhere in the document

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript">
location.href="someurl";
</script>

Yuck :P Even less well supported.

But if naming the file .html instead of .htm works as Brynet-Inc suggested (and you should anyway - the latter is deprecated), why not just do that? :lol:
