the problem went away when I renamed the javascript test file to remove a
space. I guess Netscape doesn't like spaces in filenames. Sorry if I
wasted your time.

hi,
Could someone help me figure this out. My javascripts don't run in Netscape
Communicator 4.73. I get this error when I try them in Netscape:
"HTTP Error 400
400 Bad Request
Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the server.
The client should not repeat the request without modifications."
This happens whether I put the javascript in an .htm page or a .asp page.
The javascripts work fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. I'm running
Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) under WIN98.
I'm working from the book JavaScript for the World Wide Web, 3rd ed. Here's
my first script:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My first script</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>
<H1><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT
TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!-- Hide script from older browsers
document.write("Hello, world!")
// End hiding script from older browsers -->
</SCRIPT></H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
thanks in advance

Spaces are not allowed in URLs.
You can see this in the following URL:
http://www.myserver.com/somedir/some page.asp
(see how the underlining stops at the first space?)
Instead you need to replace them with the %xx hexadecimal equivalent, which
is %20
Internet Explorer does this for you behind your back when you make an
invalid request. Netscape does not.
There are a whole raft of characters that need to be encoded in this way.
There is an ASP function: Server.URLEncode() which does it for you. I sugges
you read up on this function.
Cheers
Ken

Michael,
Did you try it by replacing the space in the code by ?
Just curious if that would do the trick too

correct, but as others told me, use server.urlEncode() for this to give
strings. The server will rework the string correctly!

Koen,
The problem was with the filename, not the code. Thanks for the suggestion,
though
Mike

Not sure we're on the same track. To clarify my original problem, I had
named the test file A B.asp. This didn't work in Netscape. When renamed
AB.asp, it worked fine. That the file contained javascript client-side code
didn't seem to matter, though that's where I originally thought the problem
lay. Anyway, thanks for the input.
happy trails
Mike
