Can you guys help this poor lost sole. I've seen this technique for search
engine safe url's but I still just don't get it. I'm assuming that the link
below would actually go to the index.cfm. But then how do the variables come
across? Do you reference the #cgi.script_name# and treat the variables as a
list delimited by the "/"? Also, why does this make a difference with the
search engine bots? Can you guys help me understand the details here?
Thanks.
Rick

You have to use URLEncodedFormat() in your code then. That turns that dot
into safe %2E.
Example:
<a
href="/index.cfm/fuseaction/detail/art/#URLEncodedFormat(product_code)#"><
/a>
PS: You may need to use URLDecode() afterwards to convert it back to
"normal" format.
