response.redirect and querystring question

gop373 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-06-04, 11:34

I want to send value request.querystring("stockname") to portfolio.asp
<%dim namecompany
namecompany=request.querystring("stockname")
response.redirect "portfolio.asp?................."
%>

How can I write querystring with response.redirect

My ASP is rusty (well, this is the SQL forum, not the ASP forum!) but I think the answer is something like:

<%dim namecompany
namecompany=request.querystring("stockname")
response.redirect "portfolio.asp?stockname=" & namecompany
%>

I'll move this post to the correct forum so someone else can check my answer...

Do we need to add a urlEncode like this...

Code:

<%dim namecompany
namecompany=request.querystring("stockname")
response.redirect "portfolio.asp?stockname=" & Server.URLEncode(namecompany)
%>

just in case the namecompany has special characters?? I can't remember any more...

well.. technically, yes... if you want to be safe, but it's not a requirement for it to function properly.. .
