I have a unique problem with a querystring I am trying to pass using post. One of the fields (from an external source) is named 'ltldd' and within the querystring it looks like this "....&requestid=10&ltldd=P....". The problem is when I test the string on the receiving page I get "....&requestid=10<ldd=P...." It appears that the browser is interpreting the '&lt' in hex format and converting to "<" . Is there a way for me to format the name of the field to avoid this problem? I have no control over the name of the field. Any help appreciated.
