Avoid spaces in your URLsTechnically, a URL cannot have a space in it. Most modern browsers compensate by replacing any spaces with %20 and the page loads fine. However, there are two good reasons not to use spaces in your filenames or folders. Obviously, if many browsers can view them, it follows that there are others, mostly older ones, that don't (I'm not aware of exact figures but if anyone does know, I'd love to hear from you). Why alienate a portion of your visitors for no good reason? Secondly and more significantly, some web crawlers are unable to index pages with spaces in the URL meaning the page won't be listed in some search engines. You have to remember that most crawlers have the functionality of a primitive browser. To get around this, use the simple method of using underscores "_" or hyphens "-" in your URLs instead of spaces.
