Ahref Link Problems

[griff671]

OK, riddle me this guru guys & gals:

I have revised my newest project (second link in sig.), and it all works correctly on my PC. Live however, I get a 404 error when I click the "Wind Power" links on the "Renewable Energy" page. I can type the wind.html page path verbatim (http://eclecticresources.com/renewable energy/wind/wind.html) in my browser and go straight to the page, but the same path in my html gives me the 404.

What in the foggy blue morning am I missing here? Thanks for any help!

Try changing the space in your URL to be %20 - spaces need be escaped for URLs. (Better yet, get rid of the space in the directory name - you'll save yourself a lot of hassles!)

Try removing the slash at the end of the link.

I tried the %20 option to no avail. I had also considered leaving out the spaces, but didn't want to go there if I didn't have to. I just don't get why it works on my PC (including the Adsense, etc.) but not live. (I'd still like to know why, I feel like such a dunce.)

Anyway, I guess I'll revise the directory structure to eliminate the spaces and see if that flies. Thanks for the quick reply!

Stymie,

THAT WAS IT! We were posting at the same time, and I saw your suggestion and tried it, now it works! Thank you so-o-o much!

If you need me, I'll be on my stool in the corner wearing my pointy hat with the big "D" on it! :roll: :lol:

griff671,

Yes, my pointed hat sits in the corner just waiting to be 'D'onned! lol!

[griff671]

Yeah, seems I've been having to 'D'on mine often lately. I don't know why I have such a case of cerebral flatulence recently.:( Thanks again for the fix! (I'm still gonna do the path restructuring to eliminate the spaces in the names though, too.;))
