Prevent MS Outlook from opening if @ appears

[Kubatko]

Hello,

I am working on an application where there are stored documents, the user can download them if he clicks on the document name in the grid.

The problem is when there is an @ character in the name of the document it immediatelly opens an outlook and does not start the downloading process.

Is there any way how to block outlook in this case?

Please see the attachement for better understanding of the problem.

Thank you

Jakub

how do you try to open/download the files, via link, form, …?

Hello, thanks for your reply, it is a link.

then you need to URL encode the filename in the link. (e.g. in PHP you’d use urlencode(), in JS encodeURICompon ent(), etc.)
