Invalid File Name Error in Contribute 3

[Tanya Z]

Hello,

I am a new Contribute user working with a client (just the two of us) in
Contribute 3.

We have just pushed up a draft of a new site and my client went in and created
a draft of the home page and sent it to me (through Contribute, not through
email) to review.

When I go into the page, I get the error:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect null
The error occurred on line 17.

So... the page is now stuck in Draft mode. I don't want to Publish the page,
and I'd rather not lose the changes that my client made.

My pages are in a combination of ColdFusion and JavaScript.

I know that there are dynamic pathnames created in the JavaScript, so I am a
bit suspicious that this problem may be related to the dynamic path name in
image tag problem that was reported in Contribute 2. However, I cannot tell if
that problem still exists in Contribute 3 and I certainly don't want to run the
Contribute 2.01 updater on my Contribute 3.

Can anyone let me know if this is a known problem, and what the workaround is
OR point me in the right direction to figure out how to debug/resolve the issue
myself?

Thanks for any help!

I had a similar problem with a javascript - the paths that the script used were
not accurate on the copy of the draft, since the draft is kept in a folder that
is not part of the paths in way that the javascript can figure out.

We changed the javascript tathing to be more abslute to avoid this problem.
The page ought to work just fine if published, it just looks wrong in the draft
view of the page.

Hope this helps.

OK, I stand corrected. We did not change the javascript pathing, but we upgraded to 3.11, and apparently the issue we were having with 3.o went away.

Go figure.
