can't pass % wildcard variable in querystring

[Bryan Russell]

Hi,

I'm trying to pass the wildcard variable % to another page via
request.queryst ring.

When I go to pick up the variable through request.queryst ring, it will
never diplay the "%" if one is included. It will diplay any other
characters included in the variable though.

Code from page 1:

<%response.writ e "<a href='Page_2.as p?Severity=" & varCombo_Severi ty &
"&Owner=" & varCombo_Owner & "'>" & "<i> Go to Page 2 </i>" & "</a>"
%>

Code from page 2:

<%varCombo_Seve rity = Request.Queryst ring ("Severity") %>
<%varCombo_Owne r = Request.Queryst ring ("Owner")%>

Result: No % wildcards are passed though to page 2

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Russell

replace with &amp;

btw:
using a querystring a a db-query source is a bad idea,
prone to malicious SQL injection attacks.
