www.e4lution.com/lemans2004/images/a%20(23)_JPG.jpg

it cant cope as an image or a link..................

can a nerdy programming dude sort it?

You're right, I can't get it to work either! Ted!

Like this?

the only reason there's a % in that filename is because the original was saved with a space in the name. This gets converted to %20 by the web server. Any decent web designer would realise this and rename the file accordingly.

Oh, and "nerd" is not considered a compliment by the way.

That's cheating!

No, the complimentary term is "geek"

How about this:




Basically, there are several "special" characters that can't directly be used in a web address. Space is one (use %20 instead), as are ( and ) - use %28 and %29.

It's not the % that's tripping it up, it's the brackets. I'll modify the parser.
