Hi everyone,
I have a form with '/' in some of the field names, when I pass through to
the next page the field name comes back as though it's been htmlencoded, so
getting the value out of the field I need to convert this back to '/' with
the replace (same problem if I have a ',' in the name)
Is there an easy way to htmldecode or something what it converted to the
encoded versions? (I have written a short function to basically do all my
replaces for me, but I am guessing this isn't the ideal solution)
Many thanks

Not being argumentative but why would you ever want to have a form field
name with a '/' in it - it's such a patently horrible thing to have to deal
with.
My suggestion: change the field names.

Better than a replace is simply not to name fields with any characters
other than alphanumeric. Including no spaces. Most languages have
issues with the slash and backslash, as well as quotation marks,
mathematical or comparison symbols and the like. Stick with A-Z, 0-9,
and hyphens and underscores.
Our programming convention is that field names in forms match
corresponding field names in databases, as well as variable names.
Some of us still use three letter designations, such as strLastName or
frmLastname to designate either data type or where the field
originates, but we don't mandate it.

Good point, however I am dynamically building an email from the form and
these are the questions being processed into the output
email......'Do_ you_have_any_su ggestions/comments' it is easy to replace the
_ with spaces on the email but as the '/' and ',' are encoded, it causes me
a small problem. Like email -> strContent = fieldname & ": " &
request.form(fi eldname)
Could you suggest another way I can implement form replies into a nice
layout that the recipient can understand?
Thx

That's not the field name, that's the input from the user. You said
your field names had a slash, not the input string. Field names
should never have a slash or quote in them. For the string input by
the user, you escape them if they will be a problem. You can also
Server.HTMLEnco de them.
Example:
Form:
<form action='emailre sults.asp'>
<P>Do you have any comments/suggestions?<in put type='text'
name='comments' id='comments' value='None'></P>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
emailresults.as p:
<%
strComment = Request.Form("c omments")
Response.Write strComment
%>
This shouldn't be an issue if a slash is entered.
