problem with '&' symbol

[john12]

Let say

m_licname = "John & sons"

when pass parameter

john.asp?licname=<%=m_licname%>&deptcode=<%=m_deptcode%>

when pass to john.asp... the licname request only "john" whereas & sons and rest of the parameter is truncated...

TQ

You need to replace '&' with "&" followed by "amp;" before passing it as query string parameter.

// To replace & with its ASCII Value 26
var strlicname = <%=m_licname%>;
rExp = /&/gi;

john.asp?licname=&' + strlicname.replace(rExp,"%26") + 'deptcode=<%=m_deptcode%>
