Upper case the first character of each name and now space between. JonesWilliamThomas I always use the maiden name for females.

The problem is that html gives a special interpretation to a number of characters, or the server may change them, in the case of a space it can become a “%20” which will not be recognised by a program expecting a space! One other thing to watch is using upper and lower case letters. Whilst Windows considers them to be the same html does not.

I guess you could change the comma and spaces to an underscore.
