Can you post your code here for us to review? That will help us isolate the problem more easily.

If you look above the "Post Comment" button below, you'll see a Markdown Cheatsheet button which will show you how to post code like so...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>

It sounds like the files in your workspace got shuffled around. There should be a folder named "img" and those files would normally be inside that folder. And normally that file named "index.html" would be displayed as a page when you connect instead of that index, it sounds like there may be some issue with that file itself.

For more specific assistance, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Excellent. :+1: For the benefit of other readers, what did it take to resolve the issue?

That isn't up to the browser, the decision to show the listing was made at the server. But the fact that the page came up indicates the page itself was OK which makes it even more curious!

I had to do the same.
