When I send a link to my iweb page it doesn't open

If I want to send a link of my iweb page to someone, the way I do it is firstly open the page online, copy the link from the browsers address and then from mail I goto "add hyperlink" paste the link in and then send, all looks ok, but when the other person tries to open, the link will not.
I sent to myself to test and found that the link address once sent this way from mail, is different than the original. Where the original address would be %20 it is now %2520. The number 25 is placed in front of 20 numerous times through out the link and so of course the site won't open.
Would hugely appreciate any feedback,
thanks

I decided to edit my post and add some more info but I guess I took too long. So here's an edited version:
Idea 1 - the simple method: Forget the "add hyperlink" part. Just paste the address into your email message by hand. It comes out as a hyperlink (though it does not appear so when you are crafting the message) and does not create the problem you are having.
Idea 2 - the prettier method: Use "add hyperlink" but do some editing first. When you paste the hyperlink into the box you must replace each "%20" with a space. The link will be displayed in your email message as you would like it to appear - with spaces instead of %20's - but the underlying link will have the %20's. I can't guarantee it will come out pretty with every email program and every preference setting someone might use but any good program should get it right.

  • When I click on Browse in creating simple page it doesn't open External protocol and Launch aplication

    When I click on Browse at the Kompozer and want to create a web page then ''the Browser doesn't open the External Protocol Request for Launch application". What i need to do? How can I know that mozilla Firefox program has been downloaded without error?
    I am a beginner and would need step by step instruction with the help of video.Thank you.

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in

  • When I click a link to a new page a new window opens but has no address...I have a dead window...It didn't use to do this for me...some program I have added must have made a change...Help!

    When I open a new link from a tab, I get a new window to open, but there is nothing there but an empty Mozilla frame.

    See:

    * In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • With emails when I send a link it cannot be opened but has to be cut and pasted by the recipient - how can I avoid this

    When I send a link to a page or website via email (Hotmail or Yahoo) it cannot be opened by the recipient. Instead it needs to be cut and pasted into their browser bar for them to open it.
    This problem only started after loading Firefox on my computer and I wonder if you can help in any way.

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.<br />

    Hi again Raja!
    I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.
    Best regards

    Badunit, thanks for your reply. I just went into Mail/Preferences/Accounts, "full name" field is filled correctly with my name. This happens to only certain recipients, and not every emails. Sometimes my name shows and sometime it doesn't show. And this only started to occur recently.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

  • When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

    When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off.
    I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
    Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
    This has never occurred in IE.

    File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.
