I have heard really high praise for Courtney James as an online math tutor.

    The link is broken because there is a trailing non-breaking space in the link (it ends Tutoring.aspx%20 instead of .aspx)

    Thanks Andy!

    Now I'm Googling trailing non-breaking spaces...

    If you're still around, why does the trailing non-breaking space prevent the link working?

    (I fixed the post)

    "If you're still around, why does the trailing non-breaking space prevent the link working?"

    Because to a computer something like "x" and "x " are not the same thing.

    I know that - but I don't know what Tutoring.aspx%20 that Tutoring.aspx is not.

    I don't see a space in the string I used - ?

    %20 is, for HTML identifiers and links, hexadecimal 20, which is decimal 32, which is the space character (" ") in ASCII.

    "Tutoring.aspx%20" is the same as "Tutoring.aspx " as far as the web server is concerned. And it very well may not be the same as "Tutoring.aspx" [although a web server might drop the trailing white-space ... the problem is that when you *explicitly append that %20, it sort of signals to the web server *not* to drop that last space character ...]
