Andrew,
I would suggest using the URLEncodedFormat(string) function when passing
strings in the URL.
URLEncodedFormat "Returns a URL-encoded string. Spaces are replaced with
%20, and nonalphanumeric characters with equivalent hexadecimal escape
sequences. The function lets you pass arbitrary strings within a URL,
because ColdFusion automatically decodes URL parameters that are passed to
the template. "
i.e.
<cfoutput>
...
program.cfm?sometext=#URLEncodedFormat("A text string")#
...
</cfoutput>
cheers
David

Subject: [cfaussie] How to parse text as a parameter in a URL
I asked this question as part of another post, but no-one replied to this
part of the question :
Is there anything different which needs to be done, in order to parse text
as a parameter in a URL ?
e.g.
program.cfm?loanID=#loanID# where loanID is a number
How to change if LoanID is a string ?
