I understand that, but how will I be able to determine wheather the
file was "Me.And.Jen.jpg" or "Me_And_Jen.jpg"?!?
The . gets to be _ and both files will have the same name, but Windows
tells me that they're different.
Thanx for your effort though.

That's the reason I said reverse the string and replace the first occurance.
The only time it would be a problem is if they did not put an Extension.

Sure Scott,
so can I. The problem is when you have a filename like "My_Wife_and_I_at_sea.jpg"
or "Me.And.Jen.jpg" or "Jen_and_Pete.gif"
How can I be sure of what _ to change into . ?

Hmmm, I guess you're right. But I have some vague memories from useing dots
in name attributes before. But that was with ASP & IIS...

Actually, this is a PHP feature, not a Javascript bug. The '.'
character is very special in PHP, so it cannot be used for variable
scoping like in VB or Java. The PHP engine will automaticly translate
any '.' into a '_' to make it PHP-safe. The PEAR folks suggest using
'::' to scope variabl
Your naming conflicts with javascript. Remember what dots are used for in
js.
Avoid using other characters than alphanum and underscore. There is no
reason you should need to use any other character.
