    I am trying to setup a link on my site that allows users to click on it and be directed to their twitter account and that puts text in their status box. For example, if you play a youtube video and click the twitter button below it. However, I cant figure out how to put spaces between the text and have them show up as spaces. I tried putting "%20" between words but the %20 just showed up in the status box. I also tried " " a space between the words and it still shows up %20. Can someone please help me.

    Also you can use the HTML Encoding for the Space which is %20
