Use java.net.URLEncoder to encode (upon submit), decode (upon receipt) instead.
-----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jan Arenö Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: replace + in URL with %2B Hi I have a problem. I have to send a oracle rowid as a param to a page. The rowid can have a + char as one of 32 characters. As we all know, if we send a + char as a url parameter it ends up as a space (hi+there = hi there) As I send the parameter in a <a href> tag, I have to decode the + as %2B (value for + char). I guess that the response.encodeRedirectURL should do the trick, or? Even if it do encode it as %2B, the webbrowser will take the %2B as a + and the link will still be the same (diffrent sourcecode only). What I have to do is to 1. Encode the + so the webbrowser takes it for %2B 2. Encode it with javascript, when the link is clicked Antone else who had the same problem? Is there a easy solution? //Jan =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
