If you save something out of Netscape, and it is named "whatever.html" then it is saved and the icon it shows will be the one of the program you have assigned to open .html files. So save your file, then do GetInfo on it, go to the Open with and select Netscape. If you want all your .html files to open with Netscape click the Change All button. HTML is HTML, there is no "Netscape format."
Thats just it I save it in Netscape composer program. But it changes it to a safari icon. Thats ok if it didn't change a lot of links targets ancors.

Darryl, the icon is not an inherent part of the file. It is assigned by the Finder based on a number of different criteria, one of them being the application assigned to open that particular extension type. If you assign, or leave the default, of html files to open in Safari, then that is the icon that will show. You can either change the assignment on a file by file basis using the GetInfo function, or, if you wish, you can assign all files with the extension .html to open in a specific program using the GetInfo/Open with/Change all button.
As for changing links, it does no such thing. There's something wrong with your code. The icon is irrelevant. I generally have the default application for .html set to Tex-Edit Plus, so I can edit by a double click on the file, therefor my html files show the Tex-Edit icon. They will still open in a browser if I drag the file onto the browser icon.
The problem is for some reason instead of saving links and the web page its adding local location. They are not saving like they use to. Like my web page needs to be saved as alarm.html how it's saved as the local file like .desk/topfile.alarm.html so I have would have to go into and change all the links, which is what I did only to find that when I go to save, it's changing or adding local file locations again!?
I have ftp several html to my server to see if they will work and when it shows on the server it somehow adds a .bin on the end of the file name and I get an error bessage file cant be found on this server.
I was able to change to netscape in the get info.

Are you using an FTP program and, if so, which one? Or are you using the Netscape Publish function? I'm afraid the problems you are having are with using the programs. Netscape for Mac is a bit elderly--they currently have a version 8 for Windows, but not for Mac. I think most Mac people who liked the old Netscape Communicator are now using Nvu. I haven't fooled around with Netscape in some years, but have tried Nvu, just to see how it worked--I do my coding my hand. The best FTP program for the Mac is probablyTransmit. Many people like the free Cyberduck. Both Nvu and Cyberduck have forums where you can get help.
I am using iner archie for about 7 years to ftp with. And I have no trouble with it.
Some how between the in the brief enouunter with safari it changed coding so when I save its adding smoething that makes the ftp server put bin on the end,after html it adds .bin
I still want to try and stop safari from being the default. It created a huge problem when I had a lot of windows open. And I don't have the time 1 and 1/2 days fooling.
You would think that pasting the page in a new window would solve it but something has got changed. Netscape now wants to ftp it. when it is saved. I have my ftp put several web pages as a test. all end up with bin on the end. And they don't have it here in my folder??????so must be a inbeded?
Totaly confused Darryl
This all started since the 10.4.4 update.
If it would only give me an option about saving or adding the local file location?

The problem is now resolved. The only thing that I did was to make netscape the default. I always the write code. I think that somehow I must have hit publish, I still am still not sure. Thanks for all the help
