Hello,
i've a little problem...if i write in a web page a link in upper case, the browser convert it in lower case.
For example, i write <a href="http://HELLO">Hello</a>, when i load the page and i look to the source i read what i wrote, but on the status bar appear "http://hello" so i cannot redirect users on some urls.
This problem is only with Internet Explorer, Netscape works good....can you tell me what do for this?
Thanks,

Giuseppe

(p.s. sorry for the english, i don't speak it very well)

when you click the link, does it go to the specified URL with errors?

if i click (for example) on link "http://PEPPE" and my site is "http://PEPPE", the link redirect the user on "http://peppe" and the browser say that the site does not exists! :(

yeah, but your site can't be http://PEPPE because there's no domain extension (eg, .com, .net, .de, etc), and capital letters aren't allowed within domain names. they must be all lowercase names.

yes i know about the domain extension, it was just an example... i've understood, i cannot write a domain name in capital letters... for example www.LIBERO.it will always converted in www.libero.it ...my friends, really thanks for yor support! :)

see the problem is, with an example that doesn't truly relate to the problem, we can't help you. in the example you provide, converting to lowercase is the appropriate action for the browser to take, and there's nothing to do about it. in order for us to help you, we have to see the code that you're working with.
