question on website programming

[hugo929]

My website has been moved to a new server recently. then I found the following link does not work :

http://www.cpumuseum.com/Show.php?Family=VIA%20C3

but this like work well in previous server.

I knwo this is due to the SPACE between VIA and C3.

How to come over this ?

Thanks

The spaces in an URL address aren't compliant to W3C specifications.
That's why they cause problems sometimes. It depends on software used on your server.

Perhaps you should use an underscore "_" instead of space.

One of the things you should keep in mind is that file names consists of three parts;

1. name
2. dot (as separator)
3. file extension

Rule for the first one (name) is;
Use just alphanumeric characters and (if needed) underscore.

Just change your wrong Micro$oft habits (allowed irregular file names) and you will never have this problems on any different system, machine, server...

[faber]

the best solution is replacing all spaces in links (href) and in database with underscores,
AND USE QUOTES in a href tag

Exactly.
