Hyperlink with Apostrophes in Popup Fail - WebAppBuilder Online

Question

Folks

Customizing a Hyperlink in a Popup works great but not when your Filename includes an apostrophe.

e.g. http://library.city.gov/plats/V/Victorsen's Addition to Highlands.tif

Removing the apostrophe works but all of the filenames on the clients server have to be altered?

Ugh

Any suggestions/comments/condolences would be grateful.

Thank you Russell.

I guess I could rename all of the files using a %27 rather than deleting the Apostrophe....but I was trying to avoid altering the file names.

I am looking for some code behind the Popup Configuration that would replace the Apostrophe on the fly in the Hyperlink.

The Silverlight Viewer handles the Apostrophe on the fly.

To support Russel's suggestion, this isn't the best url encoding cheatsheet but it covers some other things you may find in addresses HTML URL Encoding Reference
