JSP : How to set a link with string parameter

Thread view:

xbokZero@gmail.com - 07 May 2007 03:44 GMT

Hello there!

I am new to HTML and JSP. Trying to do as following:

<a href=Test?id="PID1 203" >2</a>
<br>
<a href=Test?id="PID2 ABC">7</a>

the resulting link url is

Test?id="PID1

and

Test?id="PID2

Both missing the second word. I must do the link in above format and I
have to pass the id exactly as "PID xxx yyy zzz nnn" and cannot
seperate them into different parameters.

TIA

Firstly, put attributes in single or double quotes. Secondly spaces
shouldn't appear in URLs. Normally they should appear escaped as %20. In
the case of a query string, + replaces space. So:

<a href='Test?id="PID1+203"'>

Although, probably what you want is:

<a href='Test?id=PID1+203'>

Assuming it is in a JSP page then using URLEncoder.encode
would be a good thing.
