Hi
when i used <apex:outputLink value="{!trip.url}" target="_blank">{!trip.url}</apex:outputLink>

This value of "trip.url" is URL(http://travel.yahoo.com/trip-journal-1676765-italy_2008_my_quarter_life_crisis_trip) with a title name "Italy 2008 My Quarter Life Crisis Trip".

when i click "Italy 2008 My Quarter Life Crisis Trip". then it opens new window by using URL

/Apex/Italy+2008-+My+Quarter+Life+Crisis+Trip

Error shows:The page name can only contain alphanumeric characters, must begin with a letter, and must be unique.

Its not right we want open a new window with URL of title name.

Thanks & Regards

Are you saying that your trip.url property actually has the URL() in its value? If so, why? Remove that and things should work fine (VF looks for valid protocols/absolute URI's and sees url() and treats that as a relative reference (the browser would have a hard time with this too BTW))...

Forcecode - That is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
