<a href ....> problem

[ojf]

This href works fine:

response.write &quot;<a href=TEST.ASP?userid=1&tempid=2>Click here</a>&quot;
Status line message is:
Shortcut to TEST.ASP?userid=1&tempid=1

But when I use variables then I do not see the parameters:
file=&quot;TEST.ASP&quot;
userid=1
tempid=2
response.write &quot;<a href=&quot; & file & &quot;?userid=&quot; & userid & &quot;&tempid=&quot; & tempid & &quot;>Click here</a>&quot;
This one does not bring with it the parameters in the status field:
Shortcut to TEST.ASP

What's wrong?

the url and querystring need to be enclosed in double quotes also:

response.write &quot;<a href=&quot;&quot;&quot; & file & &quot;?userid=&quot; & userid & &quot;&tempid=&quot; & tempid & &quot;&quot;&quot;>Click here</a>&quot;

I've run into similar problems. It's the way you concatenate the string. Try this...

response.write &quot;<a href='&quot; & file & &quot;'?userid='&quot; & userid & &quot;'&tempid='&quot; & tempid & &quot;'>Click here</a>&quot;

I found a solution to my problem. The various variables come from a database, and had for some reason a trailing space. So I just trimmed the file variable:

response.write &quot;<a href='&quot; & trim(file) & &quot;'?userid='&quot; & userid & &quot;'&tempid='&quot; & tempid & &quot;'>Click here</a>&quot;
