It works like a champ. I am SO glad that do not have to chang over 1,000 file names on my website to make this stuff work.

Many
Thanks

I fixed the encoding to replace the space by %20 instead of the plus sign (+) if found before the query string (?). This is the new encoding:

http://www.genopro.com/contact us/   =>     http://www.genopro.com/contact%20us/

http://www.genopro.com?contact us     =>    http://www.genopro.com?contact+us

The fix is available at www.genopro.com/download/InstallGenoPro.2.0.1.6.exe.  Can someone confirm it is working now.  I did testing on my machine and it was working before the fix, so I cannot really tell if the fix really changed anything.

I think that an URL cannot contain a space character.  Ideally GenoPro should detect if there is a space in the URL and replace it with the plus (+) character.

The script uses the Report Generator Util.FormatHtmlHyperlink method. I suspect it uses Util.HtmlEncode internally.

There seems to be a GenoPro bug. This method does appear to convert spaces to + but it should not. They should be converted to %20 instead. There is some suggestion elsewhere that spaces in any query string in the URL should be converted to + but not in any other component of the URL.

The Browser automatically inserts %20 in palce of the Space .... so it does accept it.

That's interesting because I have a website just loaded with file names with imbedded Spaces and they work just fine with IE, FireFox and Safari, so I am sure that the urls with spaces are ok.

I tried to put a link to a pdf document that resides on my website.

here it the intended link:

http://scherlfamily.net/scherlfamilytree/documents/parabuty records/BR 1878-04-09 Scherl, Florianus.pdf 

This is what is displayed when I select the Citation

When I click the link I get I get a "File Not Found" error. The link that is generated is as follows:

http://scherlfamily.net/scherlfamilytree/documents/parabuty+records/BR+1878-04-09+Scherl,+Florianus.pdf

The "+"'s screw up the URL.....what do I do to make this work without having to rename hundreds of files and directories in my website?????

I tried enclosing the url in quotes but I got this:

http://familytrees.genopro.com/chuckscherl/chuckscherl/%22http://scherlfamily.net/scherlfamilytree/documents/parabuty+records/BR+1878-04-09+Scherl,+Florianus.pdf%22

Which didn't work either.

Note that I plugged the correct url string in to the first link I mentioned and it works just the way I want.

Is there anyway I can get this to work without having to rename my files and directories?????
