Querystrings different in straight HTML and delimited ASP
in [ASP]
|
From: .Net Sports on 24 Dec 2009 14:11 I have querystrings that are referencing the same queried object: HTML: <a href="?qencl=<%=qencl%>&cat=<%=qc%> .... ASP: Response.Write "<a href=?qencl="&qencl&"&cat="&qc&"... the queried object "cat" does not break up if the "cat" has spaces in it on the "HTML" version the queried object "cat" breaks off at the first space in the "ASP: version HTML = http://www.mysite.com/my.asp?qencl=sup&cat=Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources ASP: = http://www.mysite.com/my.asp?qencl=sup&cat=Critical not sure to what extent i need to use Server.URLEncode in this snafu ???

You should never be using spaces in URLs though. In both case, use Server.URLEncode to encode each value, eg. Response.Write "<a href=""?qencl=" & Server.URLEncode(qencl) & "&cat=" & Server.URLEncode(qc) & ... """>" note that I've also added "" after the href=, this is one way to add double quotes into strings in ASP VBScript; another being the Chr(34) that Adrienne has suggested. -- Dan
