Multi-word problem on request.form 1

[AWithers]

iis5, win2000 server, winnt4 client, ie5.5, form method=post

I'm reasonably new to asp so apologies if this is a very obvious request but I have a problem that the values being passed over to request.form are truncated at the end of the first word e.g.country of france is passed fine but country of United Kingdon results in just United.


code is as follows:-

if request.form("Country&quot="" then
strcountry="%"
else
strcountry = request.form("Country&quot
Response.write "Country: "+strcountry
end if

I'm sure I am missing a trick here but have compared my code with pages that work perfectly and now I am stumped...any ideas

strcountry = request.form("Country&quot
Response.write "Country: " & strcountry
end if

well try this ..

Dim strCountry

if request.form("Country&quot="" then
strcountry="%"
else
strCountry = Replace(Request.Form("Country&quot, VbCrLf, "&quot
Response.write "Country: " & strcountry
end if

Sorry, still no luck...I think it simply is not coming over from the request page properly and thus it is too late once it is on this page

In your FORM - make sure that the Value of the Country field is enclosed by quotes (good practice to do this with all fields). This will ensure the entire string gets sent to your action page. If you omit the quotes then only the first word will be sent.

Well im not sure why its carriage returning your form, can i see all your code? such as the form etc.. we can get to the bottom of this, with more details on it.
