[WEB4LIB] ampersand encoding in dreamweaver

[Beth A Reiten]

Sunny -

I've had that problem, too.  It's not the roots!

What I've had to do is make the change, cut the URL out of the page 
entirely, save the file, then paste the URL back in and save it again. 
It'll take then.  Don't know why, but there it is.

The one time I haven't had a problem is when I've made the change using 
Sausage Software's Multi-File Find and Replace utility.  If the file isn't 
open in Dreamweaver when the change is made, it'll take.

hi folks,

our library website has a lot of database URLs, and i'm addressing the
task of turning all amersands in our URLs into "&amp;" ... but
dreamweaver is fighting me on it.

doesn't matter whether i use MX or MX2004, or if i toggle any of the
"rewrite code" options (i've toggled 'til i couldn't toggle anymore!)
. whenever i change a & to &amp; dreamweaver changes it back again
(either after save/close/re-open, or, in the case of MX2004, right
before my eyes on 'save').

my blonde roots must be showing through ... what am i missing here?

sunny.
