which index page for counter

[zingmatter]

Hi

My web site consists of an index.html which has a script to immediately re-direct to index.asp. If I put the counter in index.html will this be logged (as I doubt the full page loads prior to redirection), but if I put the counter in index.asp then the refering page will always be index.html.

Or would it be the case that if there is no index.html (or default.html) then anyone who types www.mydomain.com will automatically arrive at index.asp?

Many thanks for advice.

it would be far better to get rid of the index.html file yes.

all web servers can be easily configured to show the index.asp page if no index.html page exists.
