Hello.

I am just making some normal text links on my page. However, whenever I enter a web-address in the href panel, it automatically changes "%3" to "%253". This breaks the link. Any suggestions? I assume this is the case for any time % appears in a link.

Thank you!

Can you paste a full address that you are trying to use so I see what it going on? Should be an easy fix.

Sure thing.

I am trying to link to this site:

https://sss2.ceridian.com/Login.asp%3FC … 3Dgreendot

but as soon as I paste the url into the href field, it changes to:

https://sss2.ceridian.com/Login.asp%253 … 3Dgreendot


Thank you!

The link box converts certain symbols into their ascii counterparts. Ascii for % is %25. That's probably why you are seeing the link switch.

Here is a link to see the ascii character codes.

After closer examination, I think the issue here is you have encoded the ? parameters within the link which should not be encoded. So when you paste that into RSD, it tries to decode it. You would want to use this URL https://sss2.ceridian.com/Login.asp?Com … e=greendot instead. (leave the ? mark icons alone).

Thanks very much, that works perfectly! I've been a graphic designer for a while, but I'm a little new to web-design.
