Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / March 2007Var with & Losing half of text ??? why / prevention?
I have a string I pass in a URL variable like this Group=SE Sons & Company Problem is, on the receiving page, it loses everything after the & How can I prevent that from happening? UrlEncode the string you want to pass. & is a separator for URL addresses. Try using URLencodedFormat to change the URL string before sending it along. Placing them in quotes may help as well. The other alternative is to use POST is this is from processing a form. The problem is that the ampersand (&) is a variable joiner in a URL, so when you pass it as you have shown above, the action page and browser see only the variable definition before the ampersand as one variable, and the data following that ampersand as a different variable which happens to be empty. |
