Hi Paul,
I've been doing a lot of HTML work of late and, depending on
the tools in use, three things have always caught me out
badly.
1) As Andrew says, file names are all too often case
sensitive, although more usually with Linux.
2) Spaces in file names can cause unexpected grief. I
invariably use an underscore instead of a space. HTML Help
file compilers can be an absolute bummer for this.
3) Avoid punctuation in file names. Ampersands and
parenthesis have wreaked havoc with me lately
Just a few things to watch out for.
George.
