& is how you escape ampersands in HTML, when you want to escape it in URLs, you must use %hex notation. i.e. %26. So, the URL should be: http://www.greenwoodmap.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http://records.sublettewyo.com/mapserver/listJSON.php?ts=greenwood%26key=value I would actually also escape the "?" and "=" just to be on the safe side http://www.greenwoodmap.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http://records.sublettewyo.com/mapserver/listJSON.php%3Fts%3Dgreenwood%26key%3Dvalue Of course, you could also just use the javascript function escape(). var proxy = "http://www.greenwoodmap.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi";; var target = "http://records.sublettewyo.com/mapserver/listJSON.php?ts=greenwood&key=value";; var full_url = proxy + "?url=" + escape(target); -- Trond Michelsen _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
