Hi,

I'm using this:

echo "<ol class=\"reader\">";
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()):
    echo "<li class=\"reader\"> <a href = \"#".rawurlencode($row
['name'])."\">" . $row['name'] . "</a></li>\n\n";
    endwhile;
    echo "</ol>";

to provide links for screen-readers to various points in my page
$row['name'] may and does contain white spaces in many records.

The code works fine without the rawurlencode but fails validation

similarly this code lower down:

while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()):
        echo "<h2 id =\"" .rawurlencode($row['name']). "\">" . $row
['name'] . "</h2>";
etc.

works without the rawurlencode but fails validation as 'id' must not 
contain white space.

SO the link href and the id are identical apart from the leading #

PROBLEM: this passes validation but DOES NOT WORK. Clicking the links 
does not move the page. Without the second rawurlencode it works!

What am I missing????
