Hyperlinking Problem

[J P Singh]

Hi All

I have an application which acts as a small document management system. Our
users upload the document to the server and the application allows them to
search the record and view the files in the browser.

I am storing the name of the file in the database table and when a user
wants to view the record the asp Page spits out the hyperlinks to the file
to allow the user to view them

The only problem I have is when there is a file which has spaces in the name
of the file

for example accounts for july.doc won't hyperlink properly and the user only
sees

[url]http://myserver/files/accounts[/url]

where in it should be [url]http://myserver/files/accounts[/url] for july.doc (even here
has left out the second part)

where as

accountsforjuly.doc will hyperlink fine. like
[url]http://myserver/files/accountsforjuly.doc[/url] as there are no spaces in the file
name.

Does anyone know what I can do to get the 20% instead of the space in the
file name so it hyperlinks properly or any other solution for this.

Thanks

Jas

look up Server.URLencode - that should do the trick

server.urlencode doesn't work unfortuently.

here is the actual line of code

<td width="29%"><a href=\includes\<%=rs("filename")%>View File</a>

Now we see your code we can see that Tom B is right you need to quote that
href variable

Quoting is the answer as mentioned before.

Here is the correct line of code (one possible version):
<td width="29%"><a href="\includes\<%=rs("filename")%

>">View File</a>

NOTE: You were also missing the closing > for the <a

I am trying to add hyperlinks to directories to my web
sites so I can go from Publisher98 to Publisher2002. I
have been using Publisher98.

About a month ago, I created a directory on my web site,
loaded the pages and image files to it, linked to it,
added the new link to my publisher document, saved as
html. Everything worked perfectly. But I had a series
of health problems so I never got it uploaded. A couple
of weeks ago, I got back to it. Now, the new link does
not work. When I save as html, I get messages that it is
not a valid link.

The crazy thing is that there is another link to a
directory in the web site that works:

[url]http://washrag.tripod.com/blog/[/url] works
[url]http://washrag.tripod.com/SURVEYB/[/url] does not.

I copied the first to my address field and I can link to
it. I copy the second to my address field and it does
not work. If, however, I copy the first to the address
field and insert "SURVEYB" for "blog", it links.

I checked the html code, and the blog link is there, the
SURVEYB link is not.

I suspect that in the meantime, my Publisher98 has been
hit by hackers.

If anybody knows any other explanation and has
instructions as to how to fix this problem, let me know,
as I always hate to restore anything, it just takes time.

Thanks if anyone can help.

I can't tell even after reading this over twice, what it is you are asking
or having trouble with. If you are having trouble with understanding a
folder structure I'd suggest reading

trouble with uploading I'd suggest the tutorial at
