%20 is "representing" a space in Html but FP has never handled path changes in scripts
A . in a folder name is not supported by FP
- it is supported as part of a URL
Just because browser can encode those characters, doesn't mean you should use them in FP
FP 2003 manages relative paths Ok
- don't know what your problem is/was, but there is no bug there
Clear your IE browser cache (FP uses IE for display) or do some cleanup / repair
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- in FP 2003 you need to look in the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
3) Run a Repair on IE
(see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
4) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, MS Office and your Video card
(Windows Update and Office Update sites, plus your video card supplier site)
5) Open FP and Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins,
6) Open your FP Web/Site and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks

| Thankyou for the sugestion. I'm not sure what bothers me more. That it

| The second time I edited the page, to alter the copy, I was not able to see
| the pictures in design view. am I to conclude that the relative path (../)
| is breaking FP. If so then this is a huge bug. I never had this problem in
| FP02 or InterDev or Dreamweaver or ....
|
| PS: Both . and %20 are valid characters in a URL. HTTP, IIS, NTFS, and IE
| can all handle them correctly. As I said, only design view is having
| trouble. If FP can't handle them then it's broke so add this to the bug list!
