Insertion of # into HTML5 page URLs

Post by Fiona »

I'm hoping someone knows what causes this and can help me to eliminate it...

When we generate HTML5 content from one of our Flare projects a "#" character is inserted into the URL after the root (before the location of the page in the Contents directory); generating HTML5 output from a different project does not. We would like to remove this # insertion (it messes up some of our internal APIs).

Example:
Both projects have a source file in the Content explorer in a top-level directory called Introduction. When the HTML5 is generated, the URL changes depending on which project it is generated from:
  • project 1 generates rootURL/#Introduction/RestOfURL
  • project 2 generates rootURL/Introduction/RestOfURL
Is anyone able to enlighten me on the cause of the "#" character presence in the URL so that I can prevent it from happening? Thanks. Fiona
