special character "&" and " ' " in request.querystring URL

[magix8]

Hi all,


how can I pass the special characters as request.querystring value ?
example like "&", since & is used in request.querystring for various
parameters value

It will be cut off until "pass" in text 1, for example

let say:
text1 = "I want to pass & chacater"

test.asp?Text1=<%=text1%>

should I use Server.URLEncode ? But Server.URLEncode doesn't seems to
work either as I tried
I read some ppl suggested using replace method to replace "&" with
normal letters, and at receiving, replace back with "&", but is there
a better one ?

Special characters like ' ' and & are having problem in
request.querystring URL

Any suggestions or workaround ?

Thanks.

cheers,
Magix

Use VBS Escape()

- Show quoted text -

I used:
<script>

var vQText = document.getElementById("Text1").value;
var result = vQText.replace(/&/gi, "%26"); // replace ampersand
</script>

It works fine.

But for single quote, it doesn't seem working.
i.e var result = vQText.replace(/'/gi, "%27"); // replace single quote

Why noy do this serverside as I suggested?

ASP-VBS:

<% text1 = "I want to pass & chacater" %>

<a href = 'test.asp?Text1=<% = Escape(text1) %>'>

or

ASP-JS:

<% text1 = 'I want to pass & chacater'; %>

<a href = 'test.asp?Text1=<% = escape(text1); %>'>

What didn't work with Server.URLEncode?

Response.Write Server.URLEncode("I want to pass & character")

spits out

I+want+to+pass+%26+character

which is correct.

Did you try

test.asp?Text1=<%=Server.URLEncode(text1)%>
