Unfortunately not working for me here; RISC OS 5.13 and NetSurf test build r9725. I get the 20s not in the station names, but between the date and time in the URL. I've hopefully fixed this other space issue too. Thanks for your work, Matthew, on a very useful site. No problem :) ATB, Matthew

Have you tried again Peter? Matthew modified it yesterday because I was getting %20's between the station name and the date. Yesterday, he modified it to remove all spaces, wherever they occurred in the entry fields. It works fine for me now (Netsurf r8643, being the last one before it gobbles up memory). -- Cheers Roger Never ask a question for which you dont already know the answer.
