FP2000: Empty Space in URL of Hyperlink Is Replaced with %20 (308695)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q308695 SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft FrontPage Web, when you insert a link to another Web page whose Uniform Resource Locator (URL) contains a space, that space is replaced with the following characters
when you view the HTML code for the link in FrontPage.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because FrontPage automatically inserts %20 into any empty spaces in a URL for the sake of compatibility with browsers that do not accept spaces in a URL.
WORKAROUND
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Because spaces have special meaning in most programming languages, other characters or sets of characters (in this case, %20) are used to eliminate the empty space.
