konqueror and index.html

Domino · 04-18-2002, 02:59 AM

I'm trying to use konqueror more but, sometimes it get me a bit crazy, for example, I have a CD which I try to read with konqueror, this CD has a file index.html in the root directory, it's very useful and very nice, seeing the directory using this file, but I want to be able to change easily to the 'normal' view, so the files.
I tried in view -> use index.html and reload and nothing ...

I know how to mount a CD and I use konqueror to read in it, of course, my 'problem' is that, when the directory you want to read has a file called index.html, konqueror use this file and show as a browser would do, I mean, instead of explorer the contain of the directory, it shows as a web page.

Perhaps I didn't explain well, due to my bad english, sorry about that.

If you want to look at the html code then just open it in kwrite, or right click in konq and select "View Document Source".

Probably I didn't explain well the problem, I don't want to view the html source, I want swap easily between seeing the list of files which are in the directory and view index.html as a normal browser.
