When editing in Contribute it follows the link name instead of the link

Asked by hammermcphee in Web Development Software, Web Development

Tags: Adobe, Contribute, Unknown, editing

My client used Adobe Contribute to edit a web site (not by my recommendation).

When clicking on a link to arrive on the page we wish to edit, Contribute seems to follow the link name instead of the hyperlink itself.
Below is a sample link:
<a href=client_relations/default.asp class=leftnav>client&nbsp;relations</a>

When editing, and the client clicks on link: "client relations", Contribute reports the page cannot be found on the server.
Contribute displays this path: /client%20relations/default.asp
If we manually replace the %20 with the underscore (as the link is written) we arrive on default.asp and can edit.

In a previous version of the web site, the link indeed contained a space:
 <a href=client relations/index.html">
Is Contribute falling back on some sort of cached version of the web site? I would guess not since it
is displaying default.asp instead of index.html.

I am hoping we can make a change in Contribute settings that tell it to read the code it is working with.
