Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
Any ideas please?

Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?

I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.

In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.

If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

Links in a document created in Bean are preserved in any of the formats in the File/Export list.

For a Terms & Conditions page like the OP has, I usually create it in Bean and export as HTML and upload it to the server so that I can display it in a scrolling iFrame on an iWeb page. This is due to the fact that T & Cs usually run to 3 or more pages!

Bonjour

Your URL is too complicated! Rename your page in iWeb sidebar . Give it a simple name like "conditions" (one word). You will have a good URL. If you want to display "Alexander Trading Trust T/A Hometech Tauranga – Terms & Conditions of Trade", paste it in a text box, not in the page name, not in the navigation menu.

when I paste your URL in a document only this part is used to make the link
http://web.me.com/hometechbop/Site/AlexanderTrading_Trust_T_A_Hometech_Tauranga


URL part is missing :
Terms_%26_Conditions_ofTrade.html
