Spaces in links causing issue with Internet Explorer

[jingars]

Dear Barry,

 

Please see Chitchat thread http://213-04.com/t.asp?id=181547 here.

 

In short, Firefox correctly resolves the link to the Low Flying cover as:

http://www.lotussevenclub.com/Portals/0/galleries/Low Flying/2010/lf201001.jpg

 

Internet Explorer 8 resolves the link as:

http://www.lotussevenclub.com/Portals/0/galleries/Low%20Flying/2010/lf201001.jpg

 

The space between the words "Low" and "Flying" appears to be the culprit for the IE 'failure' - albeit that IE is correctly encoding the space character, as I think it should.

 

Regards,

 

Jon.

I don't know if this helps, but when the cover images are clicked on from the links from this page:

I get the following results in IE:

I stopped at this point.

 

All the above cover images are visible via Firefox.

Jingars, this is odd.

 

I've set up a test site http://test.lotussevenclub.com/galleries/ which is a straight copy of the directory structure under portals/0/

 

All the pictures in galleries up to and including Low Flying/2008/ are available using IE/Opera/FF/Chrome etc but the ones in 2009 onwards aren't visible in IE6 or IE8 (haven't got a version of IE7 here).

Barry,

 

July 2009 is again visible!

 

http://test.lotussevenclub.com/galleries/Low%20Flying/2009/lf200907.jpg

 

...works in IE8, which suggests a permissions thing - but why would that differ between browsers?

 

Glad I ain't a webmaster......

 

Cheers,

 

Jon.
