Sitecore, Content Editor, not generating links

Question

I am having problem with content editor, I am using tool bar of content editor to generate hyperlinks, following is my HTML

<li><a href="~/media/7c3ac3d7756842a6b8050cf0a3c92f65.ashx">w</a></li>
<li><a href="~/media/38d4f01b1a9b4624b43230d663b5f799.ashx">a</a></li>
<li><a href="~/media/e5025c794ca14a96a6966f11f34c9507.ashx">awealth</a></li>
<li><a href="~/media/3789155fba474b4d92d3e6489d857262.ashx">wwealth</a></li>
<li><a href="~/media/38d4f01b1a9b4624b43230d663b5f799.ashx">ds</a></li>

some items are successfully linked to appropriate files but some links are rendered as they are and when i click on them i see page not found. IDs are valid, I have verified.

What could be the reason, Why some links aren't converted to links to actual files? Any other way to use content editor?

You need to render the field using Sitecore Controls:

<sc:Text runat="server" field="MyFieldName" />

sc:Text derives from the FieldRenderer. You should consider reading http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/64/presentation_component_api_cookbook_sc64-a4.pdf (sc:Text is used on page 36)
