hyperlink error

Post by smajors »

I'm getting a 404 - server error when trying to hyperlink to a specific topic in the web output but can get to the topic by navigating there directly from the current published location (company intranet). The topic links also have some weird jargon at the end, it looks like it has to do with the TOC. What's going on here?

Here's an example of a topic link in my project.

https://intranet.abcxyz1234.com/Learnin ... /IS/Update Policy Provisions on Web.htm%3FTocPath%3DIS%7C_____2

The jargon common for HTML5. Click on a few topics in Flare's Online Help and you'll see it there, too. Example: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare10/Default.htm#Steps/Basic_Steps.htm%3FTocPath%3D_____3

As for the 404, can you link to the Default.htm page (just for the sake of troubleshooting)? I wonder if it's the spaces in the address that's causing the problem?

It seems to work now. Good to know the link name is standard. Thanks!
