Stop % appearing in web address

[vards]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to prevent the % symbol appearing in the address bar where there is a space present in the html file name. I'm sure there is a way to do it as I have seen some web address's with no messy symbols. Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Ian

The simplest solution is to change you folders and files name to contain "-" between the words, space is not good by default.

Another solution is to configure the server not to do the space replace. The server gets the file/folder name and if it sees any space, it replaced with "%20" sign, and that is because the path name should be with no spaces.

If you want to use the second option, post your server name if you know it, or post your website language you are using with the server (PHP, ASP...), and we'll try to provide you instructions.

Hope it helps.

Hi - Thanks for the reply, I would prefer the second option as there are loads of files and folders, a mammoth task to rename!

The servers are:

NS59.1AND1.CO.UK & NS60.1AND1.CO.UK

This is a linux server, all pages are html

Thanks in advance,

Ian
