If you find that your application server is misinterpreting attributes
with these characters, disable the Encode <, >, &, and ??? In Attribute Values Using & option.
URL Encoding preferences
In addition to the rewriting of proprietary tags, many middleware vendors face another problem when trying
to integrate with Dreamweaver. By default, earlier versions of Dreamweaver encoded all URLs so that
Unix servers could understand them. The encoding converted all special characters to their decimal equivalents,
preceded by a percent sign. Spaces became %20, tildes (~) became %7E, and ampersands were converted
to &. Although this is valid for Unix servers and helps to make the Dreamweaver code more
universal, it can cause problems for many other types of application servers.
Dreamweaver gives you the option to disable the URL encoding, if necessary, or choose the type of encoding
you prefer for special characters. If you choose to encode them using , Dreamweaver uses numeric character
entities; this is the default option. Select the Encode Special Characters In URLs Using % option and
Dreamweaver uses decimal equivalents.
In general, however, it??™s best to leave the URL encoding option set to the default unless you find your thirdparty
tags being rewritten destructively.
