Any browser which allows spaces has a bug. See RFC #1738
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html>:

   [...] [O]ctets may be encoded by a character triplet consisting of
   the character "%" followed by the two hexadecimal digits (from
   "0123456789ABCDEF") which forming the hexadecimal value of the octet.
   (The characters "abcdef" may also be used in hexadecimal encodings.

   Octets must be encoded if they have no corresponding graphic character
   within the US-ASCII coded character set, if the use of the corresponding
   character is unsafe, or if the corresponding character is reserved for
   some other interpretation within the particular URL scheme.

   [...]

   Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons.  The space character is
   unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and insignificant spaces
   may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or typeset or subjected to
   the treatment of word-processing programs.

   [...]

   All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL. For example,
   the character "#" must be encoded within URLs even in systems that do not
   normally deal with fragment or anchor identifiers, so that if the URL is
   copied into another system that does use them, it will not be necessary
   to change the URL encoding

Thanks for the heads-up Jude. I replaced everything to eliminate the spaces. I'm still trying to learn the differences between the major browsers. If anyone else has any problems with the web site please e-mail me with the problems. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
