Is there a quick and easy way to set webpages so that mixed case URLs are not an issue? Currently I inherited a site that has folders and pages with funky case spellings eg. WhataMonster instead of the more intuitive whatamonster or even Whatamonster. I'd like users to find the page irregardless of case. :eek:

It depends on the operating system of the machine your http server is running on. A Windows operating system is ignorant of letter casing and so see "Moo" and "moo" as the same. As far as I know, all other operating systems make a case distinction.

I know that's not of much use to you, but that's all I know. Sorry.

The best you could do would be to set up redirects from one set of names to the other.
