Having never seen '+' as a white space in a url, used in my decade of markup experience, I cannot vouch for your experience. And having used Netscape for all of that time, I am bewildered by your assertin that netscape people used it. I cannot recollect '+' used for HTML or SGML, and don't know why we'd want to satrt XML down that path.

I certainly saw "+" in URLs long before I saw "%20". It just happens that Netscape people tend to use the "+" form and IE users tend to use "%20" (or just a plain space). In suggesting "+", I simply suggested the longstanding and traditional replacement for spaces in URLs which is the easier of the two alternatives to read. Or is my reading of history incorrect here? I only remember it as I experienced it, which may not be as it happened. Cheers, Tony. ======== Anthony B.
