Response to How do you create a URL that reads like this.....

 

The previous post is correct but...

In order for the link to work without the name of the document, (index.htm, default.htm) etc., you will need to know/inform the webserver which documents are "default" documents. Typical default documents would be:

default.asp
default.htm
index.asp
index.htm

If any of these documents are in the folder (order in your example) then this is the document that would open when the user browsed to www.websitename/order/

If you have access to IIS, then right-click on default web site and click properties, then look in to the Documents tab. If this site is hosted elsewhere, ask the Sys Admin what the default documents are. -- Probably Index.htm as the previous person mentioned.

This reply of mine pertains to Microsoft IIS Web Servers. I do not know how it is implemented on Linux servers.

I hope that helps
