http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/ should show a listing of the samples, not a forbidden message. http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/examples/* should be symlinked (or redirected or whatever) to http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/* since it is oft-used on older links that haven't been (or can't be) updated.
There is only one item in the <http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/> folder (<http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/kitchensink.xml>), and the forbidden error is that Apache isn't configured to give you a directory listing when there's no index.html. Where is this page linked from?
> Where is this page linked from? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=mozilla+kitchensink&btnG=Google+Search Kitchen sink is a javascript/DOM sample. I thought there would be more in that directory but I couldn't find links to any samples on the page http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/ Kitchen sink: bug 122411
Mozillazine has a link to "examples" not "samples" http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=2919 And slashdot links to the Mozillazine article http://slashdot.org/articles/03/02/22/1420228.shtml?tid=154 >and the >forbidden error is that Apache isn't configured to give you a directory listing >when there's no index.html. Yes, I know that Are there other examples, and could we centralize them and have them all accessible from a http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/index.html web page with http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/examples/ linked to it and turn on FollowSymlinks for this one directory?
I don't know if symlinks or HTTP redirection is the way to go, but I don't think I can set up either anyway (well, maybe symlinks). Also, another sample/example would be <http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/>.
there is no index.html because there is only one sample I checked the cvs and see no example directory, so it's MZ who should change

What happened to the other HTML samples and such? Wasn't example/ the old name?

I found more of the samples: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/samples/ http://www.mozilla.org/wallet/samples/ http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/samples/dynatable-light/ I guess these are considered samples for seperate components and the Kitchen Sink is the only 1 web-developer sample. My mistake. The links for /examples are all more than a 6 months old, and I had mistakenly thought all the samples I had seen long ago were in the same place. It would be nice if we did have a samples/ root directory where dom, wallet, etc would appear with http://www.mozilla.org/samples as its parent. Such as samples/dom, samples/web-developer, etc.
