Hash Symbol Link problems

[ree32]

I am having problems displaying links with # in the filenames.

When it is clicked it doesn't show.

I have tried converting the # to %23 and still no luck.

Tried server.urlEncode and still no luck.

Is there a way around this or is just # the url killer?

Are you sure? Cause that works for me.

Remember that a # in a url is used to refere to anchors like in index.html#top

So an url like index.html?r=pas#id has pas as its value for r and says to
the browser to go to the section id once that page is rendered.

I tested the following code and it works for me :
<a href="destfile.aspx?r=<%=Server.Urlencode("ezra#za er")%>">destfile.aspx</a>

In the destfile.aspx I wrote this :

<%Response.Write(Request["r"]);%>

And the value printed is ezra#zaers

I hope it helps...

Try renaming a file with a # syumbol inside.

Then add a link to it in a html page and try opening it by clicking the
link.

MS IE says it cannot find the resource.

Remember that a # in a url is used to refer to anchors like in index.html#top

So if you have file name report#bug.aspx than the browser will send a request
for the file "report" and look for an anchor bug.aspx which is nonsens of
course.
