URL encoding characters

[reddyogili]

Hi i am entering my values from the front end in an asp page. One of the field has greater than(>),(<=),(>=),(=),(<). so when i am selecting severity >= 0 from the drop down list. It is showing me an error while quering from the database. Thi is how the url is generating once i click submit

http://pc-oreddy/reports/testevent1..."65534"&promptex-Severity>="0"&promptex-Date=

["DateTime(2005,5,1,00,00,01)"-"DateTime(2005,5,10,00,00,01)"]

But it is not giving me the result, it is asking me to enter the severity value again. Please help me with this problem.is this the correct way----> promptex-Severity>="0"

Thankyou,
Reddy.

based on the URL that you have posted
this is what you get

http://pc-oreddy/reports/testevent1.rpt?user0=crystal&amp;password0=crystal&amp;promptex-OwnerID

as soon as you put quotes the URL string is broken and only the first part goes.

you could try by passing the string within a urlencodedformat("your URL string") this should convert the string to a more digestible format.

you might need to use a decoder on the other side.

The above url is working perfectly for all the parameters, except this one

"&promptex-Severity>="0"

if i select >=0 in my asp page the url is generating in this fashion and asking me to enter a number value for severity. please check this and do let me know.

thank you,
reddy.

Sorry a little missap,

when you create URL string '?' and '=' signs are very important because they determine the parameter and the value

what you are say in your string is basically that


"&promptex-Severity>="0" with "promptex-Severity>" as your param and 0 as the value

what you can do is to either pass another param with text value saying 'greater' or 'lesser' and then convert it from the server

does this make sense?.....
