Urls in Netscape and IE

[ssnambiar]

Hi,

I am using the file protocol to access NT system files from a browser. Some of my files have a space in their names. So the url for these files look this way :

file://machine/folder/file%20name

This works fine on IE but gives 'server not responding' error in netscape. If I change the url to

file:////machine/folder/file%20name

then it works in netscape !

Is there any way to specify a url thats compatible with either browser ? I don't like to give two links to the users and ask them to choose depending on the browser they use.

Any help appreciated !
