Spaces being removed from POST data

Using the HttpWebRequest to post data for a query, the input tag that
i'm mimicking is:

<input type "hidden" name="severity" value="'SEV 2', 'SEV 5'">

I'm using this for making the query via HttpWebRequest POST method:

.... & _
"&severity= 'SEV 2', 'SEV 5'" & _
.... & _

This returns an empty result set. Looking at the html that was returned,
I see this:

<input type="hidden" name="severity" value="'SEV2',' SEV5'">

Why is it removing the spaces in my 'SEV 2', 'SEV 5' items?

I've tried using &nbsp; instead of the spaces, but that causes a server
error.

If I remove the severity property from the POST data, I get all the
records returned.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Terry

You are probably not posting to the website but concate a request string

example : -)

http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=...G=Zoeken&meta=

a space is represented by %20 so this should solve your problem

However easier would be to perform a urlencode on the complete string , a
receiving webserver wil automaticly decode the string ( no extra code is
necesary )

I am using ASP to read code from a text file that I am displaying on my page. Because I do not want the code from the text file to be executed, I used the Server.HTMLEncode() method to display it as it is in the file. However, the spaces used to indent lines is still removed by the browser. I cannot use VBScript's replace function to replace all spaces with &nbsp; because that would replace all spaces, including ones that I do not want...

I am trying to limit the user's options to the choices offered by the combobox text, but I don't want this to extend to how he spaces out the text, e.g. 'abcdefg' and 'ab cd efg' should be equivalent. I know how to compare strings to see whether they meet this criterion--I don't know how to let the combobox know that this is what I want. I am thinking of dealing w/ this in the NotInList_event, but I don't know how to get to the...

Hi, I have an asp .net application that writes textboxes from a form into a sql database. The code is very simple. The .text property of the textbox is written to the database or loaded back. After the new revision of my site I have a seemingly random problem where users are reporting so of the text they are typing has the spaces removed when they reload their data later. For example: The quick brown fox jumped over the fence.

Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code Xah Lee, 2006-05-13 In coding a computer program, there's often the choices of tabs or spaces for code indentation. There is a large amount of confusion about which is better. It has become what's known as “religious war” — a heated fight over trivia. In this essay, i like to explain what is the situation behind it, and which is proper.

In an earlier post today, it was mentioned that dbl-spaces caused alignment-justification problems when printing labels. I've never noticed this in reports except for those meant for the production of labels. I routinely embed multiple spaces in strings - sometimes 3, 4 or 5 to achieve a desired effect in the printed output. I do it in footers and in textboxes elsewhere mostly. Hardly ever in label-type controls, but sometimes. It...
