Hello,
My name is Bryan Goldstein and I use your RSS template in my program
Wcode ([URL]). I am emailing because one of my
customers is having a problem with the RSS template and I have tried
and could not fix it, due to the fact that I know 0 java script.
The problem is that he has a special character in the url that is
supposed to open in a web browser when you click an article. The
character is #. The equivalent and what shows up and doesn't work is
%23. If you want to look at it for yourself he provides a download of
it on my forum at [URL]. Thank you for
your time.
Bryan Goldstein

This is a bug in Dashboard. The function that opens external URLs will not
allow the # character, it incorrectly encodes it. I cannot fix this.
If your user needs this functionality, I suggest they use an extra server
side script that accepts reference ids and sends a location header to
redirect to the address with the correct # :
<link>http://example.com/redir.cgi/linkID/werrsdfw3453</link>
where redir.cgi sends something like this header:
Location: http://example.com/mypage#sec2
