proper syntax for multiple parameters sent as querystring

[aonefun]

Is this the proper syntax for passing on more than one querystring parameter? and if not, what is the proper syntax?:

Response.Redirect("results_postcode.asp?PostalCode='"&Request.Form("PostalCode")&"'"&VendorPartNumber='"&Request.Form("VendorPartNumber")&"'")

Separator for querystring parameters is usually a question mark.

Try (all one line)

Response.Redirect("results_postcode.asp?PostalCode='" & Request.Form("PostalCode") & "'?VendorPartNumber='" & Request.Form("VendorPartNumber") & "'")

No it's not?! Its an ampersand (&).

aonefun, the only thing wrong with your code is you have included apostrophes around your variables. You dont need them unless you specifically require them.

Response.Redirect("results_postcode.asp?PostalCode=" & Request.Form("PostalCode")& "&VendorPartNumber="& Request.Form("VendorPartNumber"))

Afraid not, it will fail validation!

Server-side code is not html.

 

[guitardave78]

That is indeed true
I was for some bizzare reason looking at that as an href link, not much sleep lol

That's all the same an interesting point and you deserve some credit. My only thinking on the client-side though is that validation is at the service of scripter, not scripter slave of the validation engine.

As a supplementary note, the only thing rests to consider is that urlencoding of the paramenters, in the form of request.form(). If there is a real possibility of unsafe characters there, one should apply server.urlencode() to them in the construction of the querystring.
