Non-alphanumeric characters in URLs and links have to be URL-encoded. This means that all special characters are replaced with %##. The URL- encoded version of Clarke 12%.jpg is: Clarke%2012%25.jpg That's because %20 is the space character and %25 is the percent sign. I would remove all spaces and non-alphanumeric symbols from filenames that go on a web page. Most browsers handle them correctly these days, but it's still not 100%. I posted some files on my web page last winter that not all readers of this list could load because of just this kind of URL encoding issue. For URL encoding go here: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ That's just one of gazillions of such tools on the Web. And all of this is an artifact of the origins of the Web in a time before Unicode. And it's probably the case that Claris Homepage is out of date on that, as it should do this transparently for you or not at all. -- David W.
