How do I allow an invalid URL address to be automatically translated into a valid one? For example, I would like to have a user enter somesite.com/param and have the browser bring up the page at somesite.com/case1.htm. Is this possible?

Thanks, Bob
 
This is a situation for a redirect or a URL rewrite. More info on each...

(user types in "somesite.com/param" and the browser address bar displays "somesite.com/case1.htm")

(user types in "somesite.com/param" and the browser address bar displays "somesite.com/param", even though it is "somesite.com/case1.htm")
 
It can also be done with code, by using scripting on the "404" document.

Chris.
