Re: white space to + in query string
You might want to check for more than just spaces, as e.g. non-ASCII
characters (accented letters, for example) also need to be escaped.
I hit the problem when I was generating GET queries based on the
contents of database fields, e.g. :
<a href="search.asp&name={@name}">
click here to search for <xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</a>
I did not want to take any chances so I just defined an extension
function that called Server.URLEncode - but of course there
must be other means...
Cheers,
