URL Encoding

Note: When specifying a URL in code, any special characters (characters other than letters and numbers) need to be encoded. For example, a space character is encoded as %20. Here are some typical encodings: space + % %20 %2B %25 So: Instead of Use & (A&B) space (A B) %26 (A%26B) %20 (A%20B) (Browsers typically take care of encoding URLs entered into the address bar--so the URL displayed after visiting a page may differ somewhat from the one that was initially entered.)
