 I have a site acting weird. It's on an Msoft server so (arguably) it
ought not to be case-sensitive, but it acts like it is.

Hi Bill

I think .Net can be case sensitive, I'm pretty sure C# is, although
I've only coded in VB.Net which isn't.

1) Look in eventvwr.exe to see if there is any weird server messages.
2) Why don't you run Apache instead of IIS .Net?
3) Here's what I know about case-sensitivity...

IIS 5 / VBS (aka vbscript) and PHP are NOT case sensitive.
C/C++ and javascript (and I believe java also) are case-sensisitive.

HTML is ONLY case sensitive when you want to stick to the HTML encoding
standards, but browsers tend to be very forgiving but validator.w3.org
tends to stick to standards. It provides a great way to validate your
HTML code. The CSS validator also helps out with CSS.

So IF you use javascript to look for an id="some_value", make sure
your some_value is cased right, and make sure your javascript code all
ends up in the proper case (e.g. getElementById, not getelementbyid).

The Firefox browsers provide some excellent javascript consoles which
help considerably in identifying problematic js code.

I'm not running the server. Where's eventvwr.exe likely to be please?
That's event viewer I guess.

Ain't up to me, I'd be loads happier.

OK, so it ain't me getting something wrong, then, I'm seeing evidence
of case sensitivety where I didn't expect to see any. Okey, thanks.

Yep. That's the Windows Event Viewer. Just type in eventvwr.exe into the
Start, Run dialog. It also goes by the names of eventvwr.msc and eventvwr.

It's been awhile since I've done some vbscript (.asp) encoding, so I decided
to double-check my answer.

The script56.chm documentation indicates that jscript IS case-sensitive,
but I failed to locate anything documenting such for vbScript (asp).

However, the following code demonstrates that vbScript is NOT case-
sensitive.

'FILE: test.vbs
Option Explicit

Dim i

For i = 0 To 9
'
Next

Call MsgBox(CStr(i), vbOKOnly, CStr(I))

A messagebox pops up indicating that 10 as the title (the first
parameter) and 10 as the message (the second parameter).
