Google Earth will not open links in KML that have spaces -


i creating kml files arcmap layer uses xslt generate html popup custom links file folders. of these links have embedded spaces. when try open these links in google earth, nothing. have tried encoding spaces %20 , still ge not open them. opens links without spaces fine.

here link kml works fine:

<a target="_blank" href="file:///c:/land/ce">central wildlife district</a> 

here couple don't:

<a target="_blank" href="file:///c:/land/ce/sites/aikens%20cr">aikens cr</a> <a target="_blank" href="file:///c:/land/ce/sites/aikens cr">aikens cr</a> 

i found 6-year old problem report on google groups (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/kml-support-getting-started/8pfajmyjbiy) claimed fixed soon. still problem?

has managed figure out way make links spaces work in google earth kml?

whitespace , special characters in file names , folders have created problems in ge in past:

only real solution avoid such kml , either remove whitespace file names , paths or replace whitespace characters _'s.

of course kml generated it's pain manually if want kml view correctly on platforms (windows, mac, linux, mobile, etc.) must eliminate "special" characters in filenames , folders referenced kml files included inside kmz files.

this discussed in related issue whitespace in files within kmz file.
