Database passing %20 instead of spaces! - 2/18/2001 21:56:00
Hi,
I am having a peculiar problem with passing product titles to a shopping cart program. I am using a database to dynamically create a form that allows a user to add an item to a shopping cart. I am using hidden fields for product name and price. I can get the price to pass the value fine but the shopping cart shows the product name with "%20" instead of space between the words. For example:Radio/Alarm%20Clock%20with%20hidden%20video%20camera This is obviously unprofessional looking. Is there anyway to pass the value without the %20 showing up? Thanks in advance for your help and let me know if you need more info. Thanks,
John

Can you use POST instead of GET ?I assume you are seeing this in the URL? ------------------

I believe it is post. Thats what is says anyway. you can look at it athttp://www.theprospy.com/itemdescription.asp?ID=2 this is an item that you can add to cart and see the prob. I am pulling the product name and price from the database and using in a hidden field. Thanks,
John

The result you have there, is already in the form hidden data.How did it get there originally?
It will be the page that passes the info to your link above that causes the problem and not the link above. This page is operating correctly, as it is passing the info (via POST) that already exists. ------------------

It is coming straight from the database. Only in the database there are just spaces, obviously not the %20's. I am using a parameter, i think:<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"product_name")%> This is what i have in the hidden field. When it received the product name it is inserting %20 in all the spaces. Hope you can help now. Thanks,
John

The normal solution is to use :FP_FieldVal And not : FP_FieldURL So that it doesnt get url encoded.

Spaces are always replaced with a %20, it does not seem to have any effect on the results though.
