To whom it may concern,
When I insert several hot spots on an object and then
upload my web page...the following happens:

Some of the hot spots on my web are OK when you roll over
them. Others when you roll over them have the following
description in the bottom right corner:

http://www.(my web address).com/HOW%20I%20GOT%HERE.HTM.
When you click on the hot spot it goes to the:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /HOW%20I%20GOT%
20HERE.htm on this server.

It should read: http://www.(my web address).com/HOW I GOT
HERE.htm

Any suggestion?

Thanks for your time,
JD Kaplan
 
Spaces (and some other characters) are illegal to use in URLs. That means
you have to adjust the filenames accordingly. Never use spaces as they are
an illegal character. Most browser are smart enough to replace them with
%20, the encoded version of a space, but not all browsers or web servers
are. Removing them, or using another character like an underscore is a good
move.

Hope this helps,
