website is http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... index.html
on the music samples links page ( main navigator works.)

there is a navbar.
navbar has a url, "http://andyjudysing.com/track/2077936/h ... t-to-omaha"
that url works in any browser
the navbar generates
"https://www.google.com/search?q=andy+%2 ... OHoECA4QYg"

whny? what the heck is going on?
and send generated contact_thanks (1).php

It looks like you have accidentally copied this URL to the properties.

if you need further assistance then please share the project file.

if you mean by properties, did I copy it to the url for that menu choice, yes I did.
the url which works in the browser does not work in the navbar.
http://andyjudysing.com/track/2077936/h ... t-to-omaha

something causes the navbar to initiate a google search for god knows what.
https://www.google.com/search?q=andy+%2 ... OHoECA4QYg

I also made a project with only the navbar, and only the one link and same url.
it looks the same, but it works.

have I found an undocumented feature?

I went and added another link at the end of the navbar.
published it.
no browser can see the new link.
refresh the browser does not help.
change the browser does not help.

The software does not randomly generate URLs, you have set the URL in the properties of the navbar yourself.

you are right.

the first five times I checked it and pasted i was not a google search.
I went to their web site, went to the specific page, and copied and pasted that url.
I actually reentered each 'word' in the link, thinking there might be a hidden character.

in any case, thanks.

here is the link in the navbar, copied, the url "external page "
studiosessionlive.com/tfr/tEMP/01%20I%20Want%20to%20Sing.mp3

here is the link it generates, copied from the browser.
http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... 20Sing.mp3

it shows me one thing,
and it generates another thing.

it just is not wysiwyg. I copied the properties from the navbar.
if the navbar has anything else in it, something is dishonest.

I saved and closed the file, and reopened it, and the problem was still there.
I uploaded the website file as before.

did it agai9n.

file was saved and reopened.
the external page url, copied from the navbar,

studiosessionlive.com/tfr/tEMP/01%20I%20Want%20to%20Sing.mp3

what bewilders the browser if

http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... 20Sing.mp3

that is not
what the program
shows in the navbar.

You cannot use spaces in filenames. This makes the file name invalid for websites.

ok. the browsers do not know that. easy to fix.

thanks.

some links in the navbar work with spaces.
most of them seem to.
the server itself has no problems with spaces.
the browser has no problems with spaces.

and that ignores the main problem.
some of the links the navbar inserts tokens / paths into the url

http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... -Sleep.mp3
^xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx^
instead of
studiosessionlive.com/tfr/tEMP/06-Sing-Me-to-Sleep.mp3
how do you explain that?

both ctrl insert copied from the navbar and the browser.
and changing the spaces to '-' makes no difference.

this website is in a sub directory of the main site.
some links the path is repeated.
some links the tokens don't make sense.
it's like the navbar adds the path to the sub site directory to the external url,

the navbar shows one thing, and the browser gets another.
why?

it is not showing what it actually uses.
it shows me the correct url, and then generates another.

and I have several dozen people waiting to use that site, and the navbar is making up urls.

If you have activated 'enable URL encoding' in Tools->Options->HTML then spaces will be replaced with %20
However, I do not recommend to use spaces.
If you click a link then a space will be detected as the end of the file name by some browsers. Resulting in an invalid request to the server.

navbar external web address=studiosessionlive.com/tfr/tEMP/06-Sing-Me-to-Sleep.mp3
navbar generates for the browser =http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... -Sleep.mp3

how the heck does it do that?

navbar external web address=studiosessionlive.com/tfr/tEMP/06-Sing-Me-to-Sleep.mp3
navbar generates for the browser =http://studiosessionlive.com/tfr/Musici ... -Sleep.mp3

how the heck does it do that?

The software does not change the URL, it will be published "AS IS".

However, the URL is invalid. It should have a prefix, like http or https.
Without this, the browser may preprend the current domain to the URL because it thinks the specifies URL is relative.

that is the answer I needed. I'll check it out.
all fixed, no short urls ever again.

they did work so much of the time.

problem now gone.
