Can a web page name start with a number?

[alan_sh]

Is there any reason why I cant have the name of a web page start with a number? e.g "1stmilnrow.html"

thanks

At onetime yes under the following https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc952 but now under https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1123#page-13 there should be no issue. After all there is 1&1 IONOS
and 123-reg.co.uk both start with a number.

OK - I'll carry on.

It's not actually the host name, but a web page name. I assume the same RFC covers that too.

How about this: search.php?keywords=should+not+start+with+a+number

Although a page can start with a number, IDs and object names cannot start with a number because then styles and scripts may not work.
This also means that if you have enabled 'include page name in automatically generated ID attributes' and the page name starts with a number that the page may not be rendered correctly.

OK - I'll add a letter at the start, just in case.
