Hi,
Use
String newstring=URLEncoder(theStringotobeEncoded); to get a url friendly
String
do this for all the name=value pairs to construct a new URL. URL is modified
in IE 5.0 and not in Netscape.
besides you may want to keep you query string simple( i.e. just name - value
pairs), and construct a proper sql query only on the servlet.
