Client Script Changing/encoding Values 1

[Dashley]

Hi,

I'm running this code"

Dim ShowArchiveFileIs as string = ("Articles\bbn07282015.htm")

       Dim url As String = ShowArchiveFileIs
                Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
                sb.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>")
                sb.Append("window.open('")
                sb.Append(url)
                sb.Append("');")
                sb.Append("</script>")
                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "script", sb.ToString())

When the page opens it fails and shows the url as "

http://localhost:59503/Articlesbn07162015.htm"

Seems it's encoding a piece of my string. the "\b" is getting encoded to %08

Is there a way to prevent this from happening

Thanks

Hi Dan,

use a foreslash. URLs do not use backslashes.

Dim ShowArchiveFileIs as string = ("Articles/bbn07282015.htm")
