The problem is from the commas, question mark, or ampersand in the address. Is there anything special you put before these characters when using links that contain them?

The problem is from the commas, question mark, or ampersand in the address. Is there anything special you put before these characters when using links that contain them?
THanks.
take a look at some of the links on this very page They have question marks in them. Take a look at some articles on zdnet.com, they use commas freely...
I don't think there's a problem with using any of these in a hyperlink. Are you having problems with these characters?
whats the URL your having a problem with: example please!
I'm not exactly sure why it's working fine now. Before it wasn't fully following the style sheet and using a plain font on the link, but the CSS font on hover.
All I did were some tests on the link:
I typed in a short address like http://www.ask.com, and that worked, then i put in parts of my link until it was all there(to see if any of the characters were the problem).
It's working now, but I didn't think a
I guess there is a problem now.
here's the link:
"http://web.icq.com/whitepages/add_me/1,,,00.icq?uin=64402206&action=add"
but i think it doesn' t work because of itslength. If I take 1 or more characters out, it works fine (not necessarily the link itself, but its appearance using CSS).
whats the error you get?
worked fine for me.
there is no error, it's just that the link's text appears in a plain font (that I didn't specify) unless I take 1 character out. I have CSS and it is followed if I take 1 character out, but not if I leave the link as long as it is. Why would this be?
Well why didn't you say that then....grrrr!
Why don't you post your code then, I'm not gonna sit here and write code that might not even be relative to your problem.
Post your code and you'll get a solution!
<html>
<head>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
a.no:link { color: #666699; font-family: Arial Rounded MT Bold, Arial Black; text-decoration: none }
a.no:hover { color: #333333; font-family: Arial Rounded MT Bold, Arial Black; text-decoration: none }

This doesn't function the way I would like it to. I don't know what the problem is, but taking away 1 character fixes it (along the link wouldn't work then).
Thank you for your patience.
did you specify a font size? no try that and see if it works like it did for me.
If you have the option to use ASP, with those you can use the URLEncode method of the Server (I think) object. (I don't know about PHP or anything else). That will turn spaces to %20, etc.
