Pointing a link to dir instead of html page
I see some websites point a link towards a what looks like a directory instead of a specific html page
eg. mywebsite.com/things/ vs. mywebsite.com/things.html Basically, how do you do this and how does it work exactly? Thanks!

Re: Pointing a link to dir instead of html page
They are actually linking to '../things/index.html' but you can leave the index off in most cases. This can be done statically but I know that some CMSs rewrite the URLs to this format.
