The sample below demonstates an issue that I cannot seem to workaround. I
have an Url with a value that contains an ampersand. I have escaped the Url
using both the hex value and it works fine when used in a href. But, if I
pass the same Url to the open() function it unescapes my ampersand while
leaving the other escaped untouched. This behavior is the same for both IE
and Mozilla Firefox, I guess this is known behvoir unknown to me.
Does anybody know how to pass an ampersand in a name value pair to the open
function?
Sample:
<%@ Language=javascript %>
<html>
<script language="javascript">
function showEscapeVar() {
alert('<%=Request.QueryString("escapevar").Item%>' );
return false;
}
</script>
<body onload="showEscapeVar()">
<a href="whoatemyescape.asp?escapevar=Sanford%20%26%2 0Son">Href
Escape</a>
<a
href="javascript:open('whoatemyescape.asp?escapeva r=Sanford%20%26%20Son')">P
opup Escape</a>
</body>
</html>
