Dan,
Thanks for the input, I know in can have my script replace the
content of the index.html file but I need to have a trigger for the
script to run when a new site is created. The user will never modify
the index.html since they will not have access to the box.
Does anyone know where the site creation script is located?
Thanks again Dan for your thoughts.
Scott
