Guys,

I have a search form page built using xslt. Basically bunch of drop downs that write out some datatypes as drop down lists. I have search button which is processed by jquery to build a redirect url something like:

http://mysite/searchstockist?location=zyzzyz&productType=dgdfgdfg

The searchstockist page has xslt macro that gets the querystring params and does search

All works fine except for those parameter values that have & in them. So for example one location value is Central & West Midlands i am passing the parameter through the macro using [@location]. In the xslt due to the & i only get Central. Anyone any ideas how i can get round this.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards


Ismail

Level 2 certified. If it aint broke dont fix.

Querystring values should always be URLEncode, either by:

C# url.aspx?name=<%= HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode("my & name"); %>
umbraco.library in xslt: url.aspx?name=<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library.UrlEncode('my & name')" />
javascript: var url = "url.aspx?name=" + encodeURIComponent("my & name");

If would be best if you could use <form method="get"> since it ensures Querystring values will be URLEncoded
