Link Won't resolve

2000-08-09 Thread Sim Graves


I'm sending a link to a CFM page with a parameter in the URL like the
example below:

http://bmg.com/application/employments.cfm?EmployLinkNumber=971819831  

Sorry, I could not give a real link due to keeping up security for my
client. The link won't resolve for my clients on IE 4.0.  I can't
reproduce their error.  It sounds like IE is ignoring everything before
my "=".  If you have any clues, I would greatly appreciate the help. 
These links are being sent all over the US to different offices.  I need
to fix this before they come to get me.

TIA

Since I just finished fixing a similar problem, I'll take a stab in the
dark.  Are you sending url through an email?  Sometimes, an email client
will screw up word wrapping and effectively give you something like:

http://bmg.com/application/employments.cfm?EmployLinkNumber=
971819831

Are you sure that EmployLinkNumber is always generated?  I.e., if it is
selected out of a database, what are you doing if the query results 0
results?  If the user is entering a form field, are you ensuring they enter
a correct value?

(I know they are simple things, but I occasionally simple things like that)

Are they getting a 404 message?  Or something else?

Hi Katrina,

They are getting a system error from IE 4.0 saying that it can't resolve
"EmployLinkNumber=971819831" it doesn't include the other information in
the URL.

That's all I can get from them.

The two most likely things:

Sending the address in e-mail gives you an address on multiple 
lines, which won't work.

Spaces in the address will also cause the browsers to do strange 
things.

Hope that helps.

The only thing I can suggest is that you have them send you a screen shot.
Then you'll get the exact URL they're using and the exact error message.
