RE: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
%25 is the URL code for the % sign.

Re: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
Actually if i try to pass to pass ' as %27 it pass it as it is and i have to unescape it to get ' value. But if i pass %25 it shows me % that's what is a bit confusing. Infect for rest all values i.e. all special characters i have to use unescape function to get url.encoded values back to normal string.

RE: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
OK, I misunderstood your first post - sorry about that. I've never had to use an unescape function in Flash. Whenever I've passed a URL-encoded string, it just worked. Sorry I can't help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vivek lakhanpal Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 6:52 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem Actually if i try to pass to pass ' as %27 it pass it as it is and i have to unescape it to get ' value.

Re: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
actually i also never had to use it because i never encoded the querystring. But this time i got a real scenario in which user was trying to pass ab where is the seperator for name-value pair in querystring so i had to shift to url encode method. Which in turn led me to ' problem. :( Anyway thanks for replying.

RE: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
Users cause a lot of trouble, don't they? :-) Is it necessary to allow users to use the character? If possible, you could modify the UI so that it doesn't accept characters that cause problems in the code. Another possible solution is to modify the UI so that it replaces problem characters with substitutes for purposes of transmission. Then the code on the receiving end would reverse the process. For example, if a user types in , you could programmatically replace it with some unlikely string such as ~` before sending it. Then, on the receiving side, you would programmatically replace any instance of ~` with . -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vivek lakhanpal Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 7:15 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem actually i also never had to use it because i never encoded the querystring.

Re: [Flashcoders] unescape function problem
Yea you are very right :). Although i have sort out that problem for time being saying that no one is going to sue % in his name. It was actually a full name or company name so sometimes user can say ABC XYZ or sometime they can write ABC's company etc. I was wondering if this is a problem in reality or am i missing something at coding end.
