Linking TO FMP Web Server

[jbutler]

I've been having trouble linking TO a search page I created with CDML on a FMP 5 Web server.

When I create a link to the search page in an HTML document that is not in the FMP Web folder, the link fails with a #4 error. But when I enter the search page's URL directly into the browser, it works fine.

Any thought as to what's up?

The URL for the search page is:

http://www.tcf.ua.edu:8080/ATA/FMPro?-db=ata&-lay=Layout%20%231&-format=search.htm&-view

(I'm using 8080 as my FMP port, but I plan to change it to 591.)

And example of a failed link is on the following page:

http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ata/#Archives

Try the "searchable archives" link to see what I mean.

The weird thing is, if I put an HTML file in the Web folder and link from there to the search page, it works.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Nevermind . . . I just figured out the problem! It was a space and a # in the URL that came from "Layout #1".

Should've known they'd be trouble . . .

Thanks for answering yourself here. It is a good reminder for the rest of us to go check what we are working on and to simplify our layout names at least, if not a bunch of other referencing names which may contain spaces.
