end of medium

[shank]

Can someone clarify "end of medium" for me? What I want is this string...
searchresults.asp?type=%&category=%&manuf=%&status=%&column=title
Dreamweaver converts it to...
searchresults.asp?type=%25&category=%25&manuf=%25&status=%25&column=title
....and this string works fine.
I found where '%25' represents end of medium.

When 'type=%' (and the others) was converted to 'type=%25' it appears my
original '%' was deleted, yet the string works as I anticipated. What's
actually happening? Is '%' assumed?

thanks

'%25' *is* the url encoded notation of '%'.

Try this in Javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">
alert('Heres a ' + escape('%') + ' [percent] character.');
</script>
