I have a problem when I try to insert a hyperlink in the editor. It change ~ to %7E. When I click on the link it dont work because it dont find the the right address. Is there anything I can do to avoid the changing.

Your web browser will automatically convert things like ~ to URL encoding which should work in all browsers as they should convert it back to a ~ when used as a link.

If not you could always add in some processing on the page that the form is submitted to, and replace %7E with ~ using ASP eg:-

strForm = Replace(strForm, "%7E", "~")
