I usually do stuff like that in hidden form fields for two reasons. One,
because it gets wacky with escape chars and stuff, not just for cf but js,
uri's and other languages. And two because it's a _little_ less hack
friendly.
In general when passing strings over url's I use urlencodedformat function.
Good luck,

|
|
|here is my delima. i want to pass a few values to the next
|page to be passed back ex.
|http://localhost/index.cfm?FuseAction=App.Edit&RFA=App.View&Ret
|urnString=Ite
|m_id=5021
|
|the problem is that i want ReturnString to be "Item_id=5021"
|but instead this would set ReturnString equal to "" and a
|variable Item_id equal to "5021"
|
|i want the App.Edit page to blindly return to the App.View
|page and not worry about what it is passing back, only knowing
|that it passes whatever is in the ReturnString.
|
|thanx
