%20 showing up in URL

T

Tom Pepper Willett

Do not use spaces in your folders or page names. It will put in the %.
Some browsers and O/Ss will show an error on the page.

Make sure your folders or extensions are solid or have definers, such as:

www.mywebsite.com/folder_name/my_page.htm

or:

www.mywebsite.com/foldername/mypage.htm

They represent spaces when you named the files and you need to rername the
files without the spaces for everything to work correctly. Some browsers
don't like spaces.

Many servers don't allow spaces in filenames. To avoid this in the future, name your files without spaces using a hyphen or underscore between words if necessary. I always make it a point to use all lower case as well.

If you renamed them from within FrontPage, FP should have offered to fix the
references for you.

Kathleen,
does Jim still have the "space replacer" at www.jimcoaddins.com? that would
be a good tool for such a situation.

lots of people don't go to lots of places and check out lots of things their
friends want them to. It doesn't make them bad people. ;-)

Hi John,

How did you rename the files? If you didn't do it through FrontPage,
FrontPage wouldn't know about it. If you did it through FrontPage, with your
web opened, FrontPage would correct the links in your HTML as well.

of the "%20's", and everything worked.future, name your files without spaces using a hyphen or underscore between
