Upper Case HTML Text on UNIX Server

[MKeene]

Please can someone give me some advice:
My HTML contains Upper Case text, which is not supported on the UNIX server
where I have tried to publish it.
Is there an easy way to change the case to lower without messing up all the
design.

Many Thanks Guys!
:confused;

Show me an example of what you mean, please. Unix supports case - in fact
it is case sensitive. It's Windows that doesn't support it.

Many thanks for you reply Murray.

Maybe I have misunderstood what I was told but I use Pipex as my ISP. This is
my site address [url]http://www.marshallkeene.dsl.pipex.com/[/url] basically I have
references to both jpg or gif photos and wmf video clips whose names included
capital letters. The support people at Pipex told me the UNIX and case stuff.
This is a sample of the HTML :
<p align="left"><br>
<span class="style1 style5"><span class="style6"
title="pictures">Pictures</span></span></p>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="">
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td width="142" class="storyLeft"><div align="center"><span><a
href="pictures/CarOverload.gif" title="Car Overload" class="capsule"
onClick="flvFPW1(this.href,'CarOverload','width=47 3,height=250',1,2,2);return
document.MM_returnValue">Car Overload </a><a href="pictures/CarOverload.gif"
onClick="flvFPW1(this.href,'CarOverload','width=47 3,height=250',1,2,2);return
document.MM_returnValue"><img src="pictures/CarOverload_small.gif" alt="Pool
Contractors" name="CarOverload" width="93" height="80" border="0"
class="storyLeft" id="CarOverload" title="Car Overload"></a></span></div></td>

I am just renaming everything in lower case, which seems to make a difference
but it would be nice to know why.
Have a look at my site if you get a chance!
Cheers

*nix is case sensitive. Windows is not.

This means that if you have a file named "Foo.html" and you are hosted on a
Windows server, you can link to that file as FOO.HTML, or FoO.html, or
foo.HTML, or whatever. You can only link to it as "Foo.html" on a *nix
server, however.

Now - given that, please explain to me again what the problem is?

Well I have managed to sort the problem out now but the server would not work
when my home page file was called Index.htm, and would only work as index.htm.
This was the case for all my htm files and folders. I have renamed them all
now using lower case which has done the trick but many thanks for your help and
advice, much appreciated!!

But that's exactly what I said, no? *nix servers are case sensitive.
That's why the normal mantra is to not use mixed case file/pathnames *unless
you have some systematic nomenclature scheme*, and not to use spaces or
punctuation (other than hyphen and underscore).
