spaces in the input variable (IE and Netscape under App servers)

[Guest_imported]

hi,

the following code to open a url in a new window:
------------------------------------------------------------
{
..
var accNo = "2456";
var reasonid = "3";
var comments =" this is a test comment";
var url = "FDPW_BO_RejectReason.jsp?type=update&acno="+ accNo +"&reasonid="+reasonid+"&comments="+comments;

window.open(url, "_blank", "scrolllbars=no,height=230,width=650,top=20,left=20"
}
------------------------------------------------------------
is running perfectly fine in inernet explorer 5.0 and netscape navigator 4.73 under weblogic server

i am using another application server called jaguar CTS. It is running fine with IE but giving error 'Bad Request 400' if i use netscape.

if i use var comments ="thisisatestcomment" i.e i remove spaces it works fine in Netscape too under jaguar.

i want to know where is the problem, in netscape or in the appserver and how netscape treats the spaces while posting the data.

regards,
Nishant

all need to have to do is :

{
..
var accNo = "2456";
var reasonid = "3";
-----------------> var comments =escape(" this is a test comment"
var url = "FDPW_BO_RejectReason.jsp?type=update&acno="+ accNo
+"&reasonid="+reasonid+"&comments="+comments;

window.open(url, "_blank", "scrolllbars=no,height=230,width=650,top=20,left=20"
}

Indeed, you're not allow to put spaces into a URL (even if it works with ie). The escape method will encode you variable . In this case all spaces will be replace by a '+'.
bye.
