Author Insert Hyperlink problem

Hi,

An author is trying to create a hyperlink using the Create Hyperlink
button in CMS. He wants to link to the document below:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;298624

He selects New Unnamed Window with the above as the URL but after
inserting the actual hyperlink changes to the following:

<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb"
target="298624">Click here</a>

My guess is that the web author is stripping out the URL at the point
of the semicolon ; and is using the contents thereafter to define the
target parameter of the A HREF.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks.

Hi,

that is a knonw issue.
You must not use URLs with ";" chars.
The article above can also be referenced by using
http://support.microsoft.com?id=298624.

Please use this URL.

Cheers,
Stefan.
