hide .html extension with .htaccess

Hi,

I am currently a client and have been trying figure out how to hide my .html extensions in the web browser.

I came across a .htaccess file, uploaded to the public_html folder and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

Your help is very much appreciated.

I'd definitely do this by forcing a file type instead of using a regex rewrite. Would something like this work:

<Location /htmlfiles>
ForceType text/html
</Location>

That's if you only want to do it in one directory. Leave off the location lines to make it everywhere. Or you can do this:

ForceType text/html

    <Location /css>
      ForceType text/css
    </Location>

    <Location /includes>
      ForceType application/x-httpd-php
    </Location>

That will make the default value html, except for certain directories where you have other types of files. Also do it for an image directory.
