Hello: When I encode the name of an image file to place into a URL, I use this code:
URLEncoder.encode(imageName,"UTF-8") This gives me image names with spaces replaced by + signs which IE does not like. If I change the spaces to %20, the URL works perfectly in IE. For example, if my image name is Ping G2 Driver.gif, URLEncoder gives me this URL: <http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2+Driver.gif> http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping+G2+Driver.gif If I try to load this URL in IE, it gives me a 404 error. If I use the exact same url with %20, it works just fine: <http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20G2%20Driver.g if> http://dev.rentclubs.com/~maryanne/images/clubs/Driver/Ping%20G2%20Driver.gi f I thought + and %20 were both acceptable for spaces in a URL, but apparently IE does not like the plus signs. Is there a way to force URLEncoder to use %20 instead of + signs? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, JAMM Consulting, (214) 986-3533, www.JAMMConsulting.com FREE!
