spaces in files names

[bsw2112]

hello

can spaces in filenames affect display in old netscape browsers
i know %20 replaces the space but can it still cause weird formats

ex

<img src="red bike.jpg" >

Some browsers will not display images that have spaces (or so I hear) I use them sometimes anyways b/c I can care less about old browsers.

yup it sure will. it will think it is invalid. on some old NS

its good practice to never have link to and/or use any files where the path contains spaces. If you'd like to use spaces then I recommend using the underscore _ character.

I find it just opposite, If you want to get rid of the old stupid browsers that people are using its best to use spaces so they cannot view your site along with many others forcing them to update their browser from the earlier 1990's

the reason i am asking is because a friend needs help with his web page. He said that he got an email saying that many formats on his site are srewed up. i looked at it quickly and noticed
1 the %20 sign in lots of places
2 a usage of styles (layers objects everywhere)
3 ths site is done in dreamweaver and all is automaticaly genarated by dreamweaver resulting in a big mess.
I noticed that in netscape 4.7 his styles are funny looking
for example
http://www.bakerygroup.com/bgdex.htm
the gray box is too short
i looked at the other day and couldn't find the reason
i think i will hand code the styles because as they are now
it hurts my eyes just to look at them

p.s when it comes to spaces in filenames i tend to use
something like "redBike.jpg"

well remember that NS4.xx doens't do a lot of css so it might not be that the code is messed up
