URL

[Guest]

Why are there %20s in my URLs & how do I get rid of them? It's really annoying & I want to remove them from my website. Of course I have seen the same thing on some of Microsoft's pages too.
For example:http://www.ejewelryoriginals.com/CHAR'S VW TRIKE.ht
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Avoid using spaces in folder or file names.

%20 = space

while you're dumping the spaces dump capitalization and " ' " characters as well.

Thanks for all of your help. I looked at my URLs that don't have %20 & they are ones that are single words. I will work on deleting spaces 'cause those %20 things drive me nuts!

What is the reason to dump capitalization etc. in URLs?

None if hosted on a Windows IIS server.

However if hosted on Unix/Linux, the servers are CaSe sensitive, so if you name a page Charlotte.htm
and someone try to access it as charlotte.htm they will get a page not found error.
