What does "fix" mean? Sorry, I am lost. I don't want to change
all the file names for a big site, each of which has a footer
involved. Not because I can't do it easily en masse (without
going to each file name and renaming) but because it does not
sound like a good idea to me to change all my files and all the
urls and all the links in everyone's bookmarks and then
instigating further things to cope with this.

You tell me? How do I tell? I posted this query because the exact
same files on the server that were view-sourced through a browser
before I fiddled about with an .htaccess file (see original post
of mine) changed their appearances when view-sourced afterwards.
Same server, same browsers, same editor, same files, .hta access
fiddling the only real difference.
