%20 problem in Konqueror and Mozilla

[Robert J. Chassell]

Mozilla 0.9.2 and in Konqueror 2.1.1 fail to follow cross references
with a %20 in them.  The %20 replaces a blank space in a node name.

This problem does not occur in Netscape 4.76.

The command

    makeinfo --html foo.texi

creates references in which a blank space in a node name is replaced
by %20, like this:

    <li><a href="#Preprocessor%20directives">Preprocessor directives</a>: 

In Netscape 4.76, you can click on such a cross reference and be taken
to the appropriate location.

However, an href with %20 fails using either Mozilla 0.9.2 or
Konqueror 2.1.1.

When the %20 is replaced by a blank space in both the href and the
name, then you can follow the reference.

That is to say, these work together, the href taking you to the name:


    <li><a href="#Preprocessor directives">Preprocessor directives</a>: 


    Node:<a name="Preprocessor directives">Preprocessor directives</a>,


I don't know if the source of this bug is in `makeinfo --html' or in
Mozilla 0.9.2 and in Konqueror 2.1.1.  As I said, there is no problem
in Netscape 4.76.
