I don't think - or . are affected by urlencodedformat() but the way to be sure is to output urlencodedformat(mystring) to the page and see if it does. Theoretically the . could be construed as part of a file name, but then, it's also legal to have a . in the middle of a directory name, and I have a tough time imagining it being illegal in a url variable. Assuming that the value is being passed to the CF Server, also, you don't have to use urldecode() on the next page -- it's done automatically by the CF server. So you shouldn't really be creating any extra work for yourself by encoding it in a link. hth s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
