I'm trying to pass a name in Last, First format, to be used in an asp link like this

<a href='mypage.asp?Smith, John>Smith, John</a>

However, the link always comes out stopping after the comma, but the name displays properly on the screen. I'm forced to use Netscape 7, by the way.

Does anyone know how to either fix the name so it links and passes properly? Or, whether it's a netscape thing and I need to create a NameID key and pass that instead?

Thanks!

In theory you should be able to replace the space with %20 and that may solve your problem....

<a href="mypage.asp?name=Smith, John">Smith, John</a> works on IE, but I do not know if it works on Netscape 7 too.

Try this on Netscape 7:

<a href="mypage.asp?name=<%=Server.URLEnCode("Smith, John")%>">Smith, John</a>
