URL Problem with blanks in names
Hi,
how can I create a link (<A HREF...) to a file with blank in either the
directory or in the filename?
I mean for example: <A HREF="/images/a b.gif">Open</A>
I tried to create the link using URLEncoder.encode(..) but the created link
didn't work either.

You can just put in a %20 and get it to work:

The author is violating one of the main rules of web

I use Netscape Communicator 4.76 but it doesn't matter.
If you use quotes (") then you don't need encoding. And my Netscape
doesn't do it.

I'm not sure about Netscape 6/Mozilla, but older versions of Netscape
4.x do not automaticly encode URLs before sending to the server.
Internet Explorer does, which usualy causes lots of confusion when
testing across diffrent browsers.
