URIs are required to contain only a certain subset of ASCII characters. ASCII characters are characters in the 20-7F range. Section B.2.1 of the HTML Rec says what a user-agent should do if it encounters a URI that contains illegal characters, such as ISO 8859-1 characters in the A0-FF range. The recommendation is to change the URI by escaping the UTF-8 form of the non-ASCII characters, so it will be legal. " and ' are ASCII characters and should not be subjected to this treatment. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
