querystring value not sent properly

[vasox56]

im having trouble sending a value to another page using querystring..

the value is:

Elephant & Castle

when i load this value from my database and display it on my first page, it displays correctly using the following:

<%= rs("placeNAME")%>

i try to send that string to another page as Postcode using this script

<form action="online-booking1.asp?Price=<%=sTempVar & "163;" & trim(rs("salPRICE"))%>&amp;Postcode=<%= rs("placeNAME")%>&amp;FCar=Saloon" method="post">

my second page receives the value like so:

zpostcode = Request.QueryString("Postcode")

and displays the value using

<%=(zpostcode)%>

the problem is.. Elephant & Castle is only displaying as Elephant on the new page

it is cutting off part of the string after the &

i dont whether i have to prepare the variable in the form action code before it leaves the page.. or grab the whole string when the value arrives at second page.

can someone help me.. thanks.

is this on the right track??

<form action="online-booking1.asp?Price=<%=sTempVar & "163;" & trim(rs("salPRICE"))%>[b]&amp;Postcode=Server.URLEncode + <%= rs("placeNAME")%>[/b]&amp;FCar=Saloon" method="post">

You are still not URLEncoding the variable. So, no, it won't work.
