Hello,
I'm currently changing a few things on our company website, but have little knowledge on HTML, but enough to get by usually.
I need to create links to do a search, bypassing our actual search page. We currently have values for activity and region.
The problem is that one of the activity values is "Drive & Stroll". The "&" seems to create problems. When I put "Drive&Stroll" as a value, it thinks it's ony "Drive"
I want this line :
<a href="http://www.randonneetours.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?region=All&activity=Drive & Stroll">
To to find all Drive & Stroll tours.
Hope this makes sense to some people. It must be something simple.
Thanks in advance,
Pete |

Consider CSS and dump the html madness while you are redoing the site. You'll thank yourself later-(and so will the search engines)

Thanks, that seemed to explain some things.
From what I understand
"Drive & Stroll" should be something like "Drive%20%26&%20Stroll"
I am now getting "Drive &" . Getting closer. | |

Xtreeme : If only I knew how, I would. I just know HTML purely on logic. I can look at it and usally figure it out. Or i can figure it out by looking at other website's html.
I'm not the one who did the site, but I know I can change things around with some html code. | |

With css for instance you can change all the sites backgrounds or fonts or nav bar -etc. etc. with one file! Thats the ease of it. The style sheet defines your whole site if you wish and in one swat you can change the layout and look.
HTML or CSS check http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=53
Whenever I'm stuck they know and answer fast. I learned allot about css just reading posts and tutorials there, and made the switch. Its a learning curve at first but once you see what it can do. You leave html and frames behind.  | |
