I am setting up my web site with a different ISP (aol). I have uploaded my files to my web space exactly as I have done in the past with my previous ISP. The problem I am having is that some of the graphics will not display on my aol site even though they are identical to the old one. As an example check out my Logo on my index page at both sites ... http://jwj.members.beeb.net and http://members.aol.com/JWJarts

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Thanks
John

Forget the last .... I've fixed it. :D

Seems AOL ignore files with spaces or brackets in the file names and is even case sensitive. Can't understand the thinking behind it but now I know I can work with it. Just gotta work through my site making the necessary mods. Oh well.

Cheers

When I first learnt HTML there was a thing about all file names being lower case and no longer than 8 characters long. It is quite a good thing, sticking to lower case names makes it easy for me to remember, and the 8 character thing makes you think carefully about naming your files.

I don't know the technical reasoning behind this though.

Cheers
