XHTML and textile link code on Files tab.
I’m currently working on a site using the 4.0.8 standard install which requires PDF downloads. All the internal links using the Textpattern link code work fine however we needed an external link for one file. I used the XHTML link code for it which gives me:-
http://my-site.com/index.php?s=file_download&id=22This throws a 404 error and the textile link code is the same.
The Textpattern link code gives me:-
http://my-site.com/index.php?s=file_download&id=22which works fine. I think there might be a little bug in there for the other 2 types of link.

Oh. Sorry Yiannis I just came straight here with it. That other post is in the wrong forum really.
And valid or not it doesn’t work. Is it a case of escaping or not escaping? That entity code appears in the URL whereas I’m thinking it should have been “swapped” to an ampersand.
It should output the same way as the Textpattern type link code.

On second thought, installing the update only fixes the Textile type link. The XHTML type remains as was.

On purpose. If this doesn’t work in a certain browser, it’s that browser’s bug.

OK. But we are talking Firefox here. Whenever I have to use some externally supplied javascript that has un-encoded ampersands in link URLs I replace them with & which is acceptable according to your link. Can we not change it over? I have the impression & is more widely recognised. I never heard of & before this problem occurred.
Isn’t #38 the alt-number-pad code for an ampersand?

It is a numeric character reference.
