George...

In terms that any competent history major can understand, can you tell me how
you want me to fix this type mismatch?

Well, the fastest way to fix it is to rename the two files to match the URLs.
Alternately, I can change the URLs in the html file and resend that. If you go the
first route, rename "Kpparts.pdf" to "KPparts.pdf" and rename "Kptext.pdf" to
"KPText.pdf". The difference in names also exists on my computer; the reason I didn't
catch it is that the link still works for me. It didn't show up in testing.

I'll double-check for that sort of thing with August.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

Renamed both the files with the KP prefix. Try to break it again, if you would
please.

Jim

Easiest in the future to use all lowercase for filenames and URLs. It
avoids problems with Win/DOS being case insensitive.

Some web authouring software (Windoze based) will use upper/lower case in
the program and html files then safe the respective files in all lowercase
which works ok if your ISP uses a Windows based web server, but with a lot
of servers running Linux OS and Apache web server it will not work if you
use FTP to upload your files but probably will work if you use their
program to "publish to the web".
I have 3 web sites I maintain and I have to manually edit the HTML files
each time I update to correct the case problem.

Please... keep all file names lower case. Also, please, please be really
pedantic on URL filesnames:

Only:
0-9, a-z, _ - .

No other characters. No !@#$:;%^&*()+|\/ {I swear I must have seen
each one in some URL sometime.}

Yea, you may get away with it for a while, until you start getting
into cross-platform situations. Then you have a mess.

Seems fine now. Dave

I am now FTPing the files up to a directory on my web site for testing. Since most
web servers are UNIX boxes, I expect that any problems in this regard will pop up
immediately.
