Hello;
Admittedly, I'm very new to HTML, and this is my first post to any
newsgroup, so please go easy. I was looking at the html code for an email I
received and noted an href statement that looked very unusual. The statement
was:
<a href=3D"http://www.%76%69t%2D%63%6F.com">
<INPUT TYPE=3D"submit" VALUE=3D"Order Here" style=3D"font-family: Verdana;
color: #3F79C0; ">
The site noted in the html code is: http://www.%76%69t%2D%63%6F.com and
when I cut and paste it directly into my browser address window it actually
resolves to the site http://www.vit-co.com/main.php
Question 1: What does the "3D" mean in html?
Question 2: Are the "%76, etc..." is that a variable of some kind? Can a
variable be used for a host name or part of a host name using an html
statement? (Or is this example above just a bizzare host name and DNS is
forwarding to the other site name?)
Question 3: Can any characters be added to a host name (like the % symbol )
that are later ignored (or stripped away) by the html code just before
sending the request to a DNS server to resolve the name to an IP number?
Kind of like the way the exclamation point comments <!--comment--> in the
html are stripped away and ignored by the browser before it displays the
page.
Thanks,
Don
