[cfaussie] Re: Passing the '' symbol in a URL.
Hi Travis, %26 replaces in a url. so your url should read : ?Category=Tables%26ChairsCategory2=Leather you should probably have a look at the URLEncodedFormat function, that might help somewhat. regards mizdog!

Field1 = 'URL.Category' Field2 = 'URL.Category2' My problem is that:- Field1 = Tables -- and should be -- Field1 = TablesChairs In my database, there are many symbols, and when this is passed in the URL, anything after the symbol is dropped. Hopefully Coldfusion has an easy fix to this. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You need to URLEncode the string or place quotes around the string, preferably the URLEncode is the best choice. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

[cfaussie] Re: Passing the '' symbol in a URL.
in javascript you can use the escape() function for the same effect. xmlformat() htmleditformat() jsstringformat() should be used on all user provided data written back to the browser, they prevent errors from special characters and prevent hacking, they are like the CFQUERYPARAM for the browser z On 10/5/07, Andrew Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You need to URLEncode the string or place quotes around the string, preferably the URLEncode is the best choice.
