I’ve had some peculiar behavior with my html external links. After I type them in and click OK this is added after html: “%20”. It doesn’t happen always but often enough to be annoying. Even when I just click in the external box and backspace it out it still pops back in.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Freeway is helping you here. A URL may not ever contain a space of any kind. The %20 is a urlencoded space character, which allows you to sneak this past browsers and validators. The correct thing to do is remove the space.

I’ve done that Walter, but it keeps coming back sometimes even when I type it in.
It will look fine in the external link box but when I go back to check it later it shows up down on the gray link bar but not in the box?

What Walter means that you remove the space from the page name
ie my page.html is invalid my_page.html is valid

Sorry David, I just don’t get it.
This is what the external link looks like (in the external box)
http://sueartwork.com/pages.html
I click okay and what link actual goes on the page and shows up in the gray area underneath is:
http://sueartwork.com/pages.html%20
and that is what publishes.
This space only occurs at the end of the word “html”
?

Are you accidentally adding a space when you enter the external link details in the dialogue box?

No and I’ve even clicked on it and backspaced into the word “html” and then re-typed and it still appeared.
The only solution was to “Remove the Link” entirely and start over.
A real pain for over 10 links!
Scratching my head on this one.

I think you are missing the entire point here. If you create a filename or folder name that contains any spaces, that is a mistake and really ought to be corrected before you proceed any further. Filenames must not contain spaces. Ever. Full stop. If you create a link to such a filename (manually, since Freeway won’t create a file named that way on its own) then Freeway will plaster over your mistake by adding the %20. There has to be something in there, since Nature (and the W3C) abhors a vacuum.

I am sorry, I just read over your message again, and realize that you
were not trying to do what I thought you were. Sorry, I was hasty.
