For safety's sake, I generally restrict URLs to numbers, letters,
underscores, and dashes. Remove apostrophes and quotes, replace any
other characters with underscores, and compress consecutive
underscores. Lowercasing everything is not a bad idea either.
So http://test.com/Testfile_"Test's".htm would become
http://test.com/testfile_tests.htm
Your implementation may vary, but explicitly allowing characters
generally works better than explicitly disallowing.

I'm using the latest FireFox on Linux. I am building a web

where these URL's are created dynamically based on a users input in a
"title" field. I am filtering their input and encoding it, I guess it
would be best to just delete them with the filter. Is there a list of
all these characters somewhere that I can look at do build my filter?
Thanks!

Sounds like a browser issue. My browser (Safari) doesn't do that. Are

Also, it's bad practice to have non-URL-safe characters in the URL,
encoded or not.
