Href in navigation menu

[annebeate]

Hi,

I'm trying to include a href to an external website in the navigation menu:

http:///soap/dashMonitor.php?width=400&url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%20Memory%20Analysis%...

I used the html decoder to translate special characters such as ?, &.

http:///soap/dashMonitor.php%3F>width=400%26url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%2520Memory%2520...

I'm able to save the navigation file, but still I get error message 404. I get this error:

The requested URL /soap/dashMonitor.php?>width=400&url=/rest/management/reports/create/xxxx%20Memory%20Analysis%20xxxx?filter=tf%3ALast6h&type=HTML&go=Go was not found on this server

Help appreciated 🙂

Regards,
AB
