Redirecting to a Directory

I am a complete newbie, and my question might sound very basic, but please help me.

I have a website say called myname.com and my main pages (index etc) are in directory name i.e. myname.com/name.

I want http://myname.com/name to be displayed when user types in http://myname.com

If you need to make a redirect, you can try this as well:

Code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
browserName=navigator.appName; 
browserVer=parseInt(navigator.appVersion);

  if ((browserName=="Netscape" && browserVer>=4) || (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer>=4))    
  version="ver4";
  else
    version="other";

/* Version 4 browser URL */
if (version=="ver4")
  window.location="http://www.myname.com/name";

/* Other browsers URL */
else
  window.location="http://www.myname.com/name";

//-->
</SCRIPT>

Add it into the "HEAD" tags of the index page.

If you have php enabled on your server, you can create an index.php file in your main directory, and use the following code to redirect:

Code:

header("Location: http://www.myname.com/name/");
