why is this line of ASP causing a break in the URL address?

[Hideki]

While having my site reviewed , I was notified that a section of the site did not work in NS. The "Error, page could not be found" thing would come up.

I then noticed that there was a two space blank break in the URL. As soon as I deleted the two spaces and hit enter, I was directed to the correct page.

In IE, the URL displays as:
https://www.keomed.com/shipping.asp?mscssid=6HR7KNH6L0SR2PA200A2TRB5EGPQ3GUC&comments2=&first=first1

In NS, the URL displays as:
https://www.keomed.com/shipping.asp?mscssid=6HR7KNH6L0SR2PA200A2TRB5EGPQ3GUC&comments2= &first=first1

The break occurs right after &comments2=

Here is the ASP code. How can I get rid of the blank spaces?

strSecureURL = strSecureURL & Request.ServerVariables("URL") & "?mscssid=" & Request.QueryString("mscssid") & "&comments2=" & Request.Form("comments2") & "&first=first1"

Thanks

It's probably because IE is ignoring that space in comments2. Try doing a trim(Request.Form("comments2")) and see if that helps...

Dave, it worked!
Thanks!

Cool....

Also, using

strVarHere = Server.URLEncode(strVarHere)

would be recommended when passing data like this in the querystring.
