Special charaters in hyperlinks HTML

[CincyRed33]

I need a little help...

I am taking text from a database that is entered by the user and using it as a hyperlink on my site. I'm having difficulities when a user may possibly enter special characters such as &, %, _. I then create the hyper link containing this special character, but when I click on that I get an "Exception Occurred" error.

Any ideas what I can do about this?



This is what the one looks like:

Ampersand Literal (& _)
