html - Link doesn't work when href attribute value is url encoded -


why link doesn't work when href attribute value url encoded?

are not supposed encode it? same behavior observed in chrome & ff

works

<!doctype html> <html> <body>  <p>sweet fruit: <a href="http://google.com/search?q=banana">banana</a></p>  </body> </html> 

doesn't work

<!doctype html> <html> <body>  <p>sweet fruit<a href="http%3a%2f%2fgoogle.com%2fsearch%3fq%3dbanana">banana</a></p>  </body> </html> 

its protected link. how encode works http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

this link u showed first 1 decoded , second 1 encoded .

http://google.com/search?q=banana http%3a%2f%2fgoogle.com%2fsearch%3fq%3dbanana

lets take look

in case "/" becomes %2f, "?" %3f , "=" %3d

its protection , link can not used. dns cant read it. , see first link clickable , second 1 not.
