theunknown · Jul 31, 2002

Hello Friends
The following function gives error when the url contsins space charcter (%25), other wise it works fine.

function OpenWindow(){
var l=open('','D',"titlebar=no,height=130,width=290');
l.document.write('<HTML><BODY>Hello World</BODY></HTML>);
l.document.close();
l.focus();
}
thanks in advance.

This shows that it's not wise to use spaces (among other non-alphanumeric characters) in file names. To get around the problem, use:

var safeURL=escape(unsafeURL);

This doesn't make it any wiser, and some browsers choke on converting the "safe" URL back to the original poorly named one.
