Hello,
For our Web site, I use a ColdFusion redirect page to display a legal
disclaimer when linking to external sites. To have this redirect text
appear in the template before the user leaves our site, I must use the
following format for a link tag:
<A
HREF="#Session.TemplatePath#&Template=Redirect.cfm&Location=http://www.leg.s
tate.co.us/2001/inetcbill.nsf/fsbillcont/F0ACA8F6AE0D6AE7872569BC005A272F?Op
en&file=001_rn2.pdf" TARGET="_blank">
Since ColdFusion uses the ampersand to define variables, I am running into
trouble linking to Web sites that use ampersands in their URLs. Because of
the two variables previously defined in this tag, any of the URL after (and
including) an ampersand is deleted. So, the above URL would be truncated
to:
http://www.leg.state.co.us/2001/inetcbill.nsf/fsbillcont/F0ACA8F6AE0D6AE7872
569BC005A272F?Open
Thus, rendering my link useless. I have tried using CFOUTPUT tags, using
two ampersands, and using the HTML code for an ampersand to replace the
ampersand in the URL. None of these options have worked. Since the
redirect page isn't something I can just *not* use, I am wondering if any of
you have found an alternative way to deal with this issue.
Thanks in advance!
