Hyperlink not working (C9)

Hi there,

I have created an online module with an hyperlink to this URL (a provate Sharepoint):

https://portal2010.amazon.com/sites/eucsi/pjm/New%20PM%20Process/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsites%2Feucsi%2Fpjm%2…

Both in the Flash and HTML5 output the link doesn't work: it is possible to click on the text with the hyperlink and the browser window opens, but with a broken link like this:

https://portal2010.amazon.com/sites/eucsi/pjm/New%2520PM%2520Process/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%252Fsites%252Feucsi…

Looks like this character { is not supported and changed with something else.

Maybe it is a very stupid problem but I don't know how to solve it : )

Thanks a lot for your help!

Correct answer TLCMediaDesign

The URL you are using is already encoded. You need to use an unecoded URL, because Captivate is encoding the special characters again.

Something like:

https://portal2010.amazon.com/sites/eucsi/pjm/New PM Process/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=/sites/eucsi/pjm/New
PM Process/Project Management Framework Templates&FolderCTID=0x01200046240EDA34B6AC4E9592E70B4D97875C&View={B26EBF00-FAC5-41C5-84A1-F5043BBB0238}
