Dreamweaver code rewriting
URLs sometimes contain special characters such as a plus sign "+".
By default, Dreamweaver will convert special characters to the HTML encoding equivalent. For example, by default Dreamweaver will convert "+" to "%2B" in the HTML source code.
Encoding special characters may cause links to fail in some databases, including the library catalogue. You must therefore turn off Dreamweaver's code rewriting when creating links.
What to do...
- Open Dreamweaver
- From the menu choose Edit > Preferences > Code Rewriting
- Uncheck the option "Special characters - Encode special characters in URLs using %"
