new discovery

this may be obvious but wasn't to me since sites at other servers behave differently.

here at FQ if you have new.gif and New.gif in a directory neither will load, nor will other following graphics on the page.

Ok, could you explain that again?[nbsp][nbsp]I think I'm missing something...

[Deb]

Unix/Linux servers are case sensitive.[nbsp][nbsp]If you have new.gif and New.gif they are considered two separate files.

img src=new.gif will not work for loading New.gif
img src=New.gif will not work for loading new.gif

BUT

img src=new.gif WILL work for loading new.gif
and img src=New.gif WILL work for loading New.gif

If you do mistake the case sensitivity the worst that will happen is a single broken image.. it will not affect anything else on the page.[nbsp][nbsp]Whatever is causing this to happen to your page would have nothing to do with the new.gif images.

this is interesting. i had this situation, neither file loaded and there was no broken image marker. hmmmmm.....must be me

gwlubin - might I guess that you're using Netscape? It's not uncommon that when NS gets confused it just stops, refusing to render the rest of the page...

[Charles Capps]

...that when NS gets confused... Translation: There is substandard HTML for a table in the page.[nbsp][nbsp]:)

Check your tags!

I am gonna agree totally with DEB on this, as I have a habit of doing this when I am experimenting with pulling a page together, when I do a minor change to a file, I usually just capatilize the first letter of the file so I can keep them all grouped together when working with many different images.

Although.. I will say, my windows will NOT allow me to do this.. it will tell me a file already exists! *giggle*
