For example: <link href='http://somesite.com'> doesn't work, and becomes: <link href=''> The same code using quotes work perfectly. Ideas? Thank you, Ivan

The XML fields and some Web browsers don't recognize the curly quotes and apostrophes that MS products use in place of the straight variants.

Ivan Imanishi	Tuesday 26 August 2003 1:46:20 pm It's not a problem with copy and paste from office (though I have experienced that problem too). The problem occurs even when typing the text directly into the browser. In fact, when i first noticed the problem i began using quotes instead. And the link worked. But whenever I edited the article, the system would replace the quotes for apostrophes automaticaly in the text field. So, if I just publish the article, the link would be lost. I then edited the kernel so that it would not use apostrophes when rebuilding the link tag. This has made it possible for me to use the system, but I still have to avoid using apostrophes, which should not be the case.
