Double Anchors in Links

[vbg]

We post a lot of content that is cut and pasted from emails or web sites (a
news aggregator site). When creating a link with an anchor, it will add an
additional copy of the anchor to the end of the link code, but not the text.
After publishing a link with a double anchor, the link becomes uneditable amd
cannot be deleted.

To edit it, the page has to be republished and I have access it via DW to fix
it.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

I ran across the same problem in Contribute 3.1 when trying to create a link to
a named anchor. It appears that if you paste a URL that includes an anchor
(i.e. [url]http://www.domain.com/index.asp#example[/url]) in the text box below "Web
address (URL)" (or "Browse" to a URL with an anchor) and click the "OK" button
Contribute creates the link with a duplicate anchor name (i.e.
[url]http://www.domain.com/index.asp#example#example[/url]). Then you are unable to select
or edit the link. Maybe a bug?

Work Around - If you browse to a URL then type in the "#anchorname" at the
end of the URL in the text box next to "HREF"(or choose the anchor from the
drop down) and click "OK" it creates the link with the anchor correctly and you
are able to edit the link. Note: Do NOT type the "#anchorname" at the end of
the URL in the text box next to to "Web address (URL)"
