How do you pass # through query string!

[JohnPham]

Hi,

Anyone please help me with this: I try to pass this query string through URL but seem not work for me.

If my initial string is: initPIN = "12345#678"
when I pass through URL like this:
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function Openweb(initFlg){
Myweb = Myweb.asp?PIN=&quot; + initPIN + &quot;&initState=&quot; + initFlg;
Myweb = window.open (Myweb, &quot;Myweb&quot;, &quot;scrollbars=1, resizable=1&quot;
}

On the ASP server site, when I use
request.querystring(&quot;PIN&quot is just comes back with value 12345. The rest has been cut off.
Is there any way to prevent this situation.

Thanks all for help.

John

Use initPIN = escape(&quot;12345#678&quot

change
If my initial string is: initPIN = &quot;12345#678&quot;
to
If my initial string is: initPIN = &quot;12345\u0023678&quot;

\u0023 is the unicode

i tried the escape function before, for some reason.... it never work for me. then i decided to replace it with other special character that you can be very sure that those sequence will never appear in your original string.
such as # = &quot;!@#$%^&quot;
then in the receiving end, just find &quot;!@#$%^&quot; and replace it with #

 

[newbiepg]

do you know where the # will appear in the value?
if you do try breaking the string

myvar = &quot;#&quot;;
var wer = &quot;12345&quot; + myvar + &quot;6758&quot;;

In a post some time back somebody suggested using
\u0023 instead of # and it seemed to work fine

if i am not wrong, special character like '?' and '&' will cause problem also. that's why i use the replacing method rather than other method.
