How and why do you url encode and decode?

Well less of me and more of a guy called Brian Wilson. I had a file that I wanted to url encode - since the filename I had used was littered with spaces and at the time couldn't precisely remember what to change!

Anyway to cut a long story short if you want to know the whys and hows or url encoding go visit Brian's page - http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm

The cool thing is he has placed some code on the site so you can actually encode your unencoded url! Very useful, giving you the details of the JavaScript functions String.charCodeAt and String.fromCharCode.

how do you get that Don't cha t-shirt from the KitKat advert?

I don't know about you but I love that new kitkat advert with the bloke dancing/point to the lyrics of the pussycat dolls song, don't cha, with the lyrics printed on the tshirt! lol. I was going to say how cool but clearly I am geek LOL. To my joy though I found I could too wear the TShirt and mime to the advert.... - http://www.cafepress.co.uk/DontChaWish Has anyone found a link to the video online? I can't find it anywhere - I just have to keep the TV on : ( lol
