IE address bar issue

[DrAsh]

Quick question:

I am developing a webpage on my site involving windows media. I found someone elses useful page and I saved their page, editted it, saved it on my site and posted it on my site.

here is the address.

http://www.yourname.com/_education/Download Windows Media Player.htm

the page i saved was called
Download Windows Media Player.htm

and I named it as such. Why does it have the %20 written between the words. (instead of a spacebar or underscore)

The number twenty is the hexadecimal representation of the space character. Whenever you put a non-alphanumeric character in a filename, the particular character will be converted to its hex equivalent. Typically, it is not good form to put these characters in filename titles. Try to stick with A-Z, 0-9, - and _ if you can.

Hope this helps,
