%20 showing up in URL

[Guest]

How do I get rid of hte %20 that shows up in between hte words in my URL's?

 

[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.

Big things are made up
of lots of little things.

I had this problem and found that the "%20" remained even after I renamed

the files with no spaces. I went into the source HTML code and deleted all
of the "%20's", and everything worked.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.
