Hello,

I am using the following to share something on twitter from my site..

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=<?=$res?>" name="share" ><img src="images/referral_twitter.jpg" alt="Share On twitter" /></a>

where $res=Track SunGlass Up for #share #barter at http://su.pr/2UBgEg - #ihave

but if i urlencode this and send, it is only identifying the space not the #..# appears as %23..any idea how to show # as is it?? Pls help...
