HTML URL Encoding
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the Internet.
URL - Uniform Resource Locator
Web browsers request pages from web servers by using a URL.
The URL is the address of a web page like: http://www.w3schools.com.
URL Encoding
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the
ASCII character-set.
Since URLs often contains characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted. URL encoding converts
the URL into a valid ASCII format.
URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with
"%" followed by two hexadecimal digits corresponding to the
character values in the ISO-8859-1 character-set.
URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a + sign.
Try It Yourself
If you click the "Submit" button below,
the browser will URL encode the input before it is sent to the server. A page at the
server will display the received input.
Try some other input and click Submit again.
