Funny but when I mouse over it has it encoded. Here's the source of my output page.
Here is the qrystr encoded: name%3DJane%26eyes%3Dbrown%26hair%3Dblond%26number%3D2125551234<br> <a href="http://www.hfdkldf.com/main.cfm?action=saveinfo&qrystr=name%3DJane%26eyes% 3Dbrown%26hair%3Dblond%26number%3D2125551234">save her info</a> Thank you, Katrina Chapman Center Manager Whittier Community Center 435-753-9008 > -----Original Message----- > From: Christophe Maso [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 12:26 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Passing a query string as a single url variable > > Trying to pass a custom query string to a template through > the URL, example (assume all inside cfoutput tags): > > <cfset qrystr="name=Jane&eyes=brown&hair=blond&number=2125551234"> > Here is the qrystr encoded: #URLEncodedFormat(qrystr)#<br> <a > href="http://www.hfdkldf.com/main.cfm?action=saveinfo&qrystr=# URLEncodedFormat(qrystr)#">save her info</a> > > Testing this out, I'm seeing that the second line's output > indeed shows qrystr with "=" and "&" replaced by "%3D" and > "%26", respectively.
