URL Parameter - Value includes #

[bloise]

Hello,

I have a coldfusion app, where we pass a value within a url parameter that contains a # sign. We need this because, the app jumps to a particular hyperlink.

Ex: #61.51e will take you to chapter 61 stuff. Chapter 61 is contained within its own coldfusion file.

So I have a little traffic code module that needs to extract
the first 2 characters after the # sign to know which file to call.

However whenever I try to exam the URL parameter, cold fusion says it is not defined. The # is confusing the isDefinted function.

I hope this makes some sense. Anyway thanks for your help
Mike

Have you tried using UrlEncodedFormat when passing your URL variables? It will keep CF from freaking out when it sees a #.



Hope This Helps!

bloise, I had this problem before, place two # then the anchor tag.

[COLOR=red]
<cfoutput>
....
....
....
a href="someplage.html##anchorname
....
....
....
</cfoutput>
[/color]

In CF placing another # makes the CF administrator know that the second # is not part of CF code.

Hope this helps.
