Special Characters in HTML

[dtm32236]

Hi,

So, I just signed up for this site http://www.designerpages.com/, where I can host my company's products.

On my products page, I'm trying to link to my page here:
http://www.foremostgroups.com/K&B/he.../bastille.html

The problem is, when I type in a &, it changes it to & so the page comes up with Error 404.

If I do & it keeps it the same

When I try doing & it makes the link
http://www.foremostgroups.com/K&.../bastille.html
and this also comes up with 404.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this so that it will do the & correctly?

nevermind, i got it:

%26

you can also do & for ampersand I think

& works also for the ampersand.

You can't use & and & in URLs if what you want is a litteral et-ligature. & will be interpreted as an &, and will thus break up the line. Consider the following two examples:
example.com/search.php?query=example%26something%3Dsomething%20else
example.com/search.php?query=example&something=something else
In the first example, query will return example&something=something else, which in the second example, query will return example and something will return something else.

the page would auto-format anything with ampersand to the & and this would return a page not found... %26 was the only one that worked.

Thanks for the help guys!
