asp_web_howto thread: Replacing an &

Message #1 by "Drew, Ron" <RDrew@B...> on Tue, 12 Nov 2002 08:49:10 -0500

Must be brain dead today.  Cant remember the actual command syntax...How
do I allow a "&" to be passed in a request.form?
I have a field being passed from a form using a request.form.   If the
person puts "Test & Output", only "Test" shows up
When I did a REPLACE (strTEXT, "&", "-")   it works OK but what the heck
can I change the "-" to in order to see the "&" in the name?
Thanks and wish it was Friday!!

REPLACE (strTEXT, "&", "&amp;")

Look at the functions:
	server.htmlencode
	server.urlencode

Can you look at this...it still does not work...I have tried replacing
with &amp; and HtmlEncode as you can see..prior to the replace the
strBody has a Request.form field with "Ron Drew & Mickey Mouse" in
it...when the FORM action happens it stops with Ron Drew in the strBody
parameter.

<%@ Language=3DVBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<%
Const strHeader =3D "Verify the Information and SEND the message:"
Dim strTo, strSubject, strBody, ix, formElementName, formElementValue
strTo =3D "RDrew@B..."
strSubject =3D "Test Request from Website"
Response.Write "<B><font color=3Dblue>Verify the Information and SEND 
the
message:<br><br>"
strBody =3D ( "Request submitted at " & Now() & vbCrLf & vbCrLf)

For ix =3D 1 to Request.Form.Count
    formElementName =3D Request.Form.Key(ix)
    formElementValue =3D Request.Form.Item(ix)
    if Len(formElementValue) > 0 then
        strBody =3D strBody & (formElementName & "=3D" & 
formElementValue &
vbCrLf)
    end if   
Next
strBody =3D Replace(strBody, vbCrLf, "<BR>")
strBody =3D Replace(strBody, "&", "&amp;")
strBody =3D Replace(strBody, "Request submitted", "PRESS SEND
ABOVE..submitted")
strBody =3D Replace(strBody, "<BR>", "%0D")

Use server.urlencode(), you shouldn't need to replace the &'s with &amp.
Server.htmlencode() turns any html in the form field into printable code on
the screen instead of executing the html as html.

Thanks Tom...tried it and the & now works but it is all one string with
a bunch of "+" signs (no line feeds as before in the email).  So I just
did a replace of "&" to "and" for now to make it work. 
Oh well..thanks for trying!!

Pluses are encoded spaces...you still need to replace the vbcrlf's and
unencode the results. It takes a while to sort it out but you can get it to
read the way you want later when time permits.
