    Resolved [RESOLVED] Apostrophe in URL parameter

    Hi,

    How can I pass an apostrophe in a URL that I want to use in another page? For example, the following causes an error when I try to load a new page:
    VB Code:
    1. www.whaterverpage.aspx?LastName=O'Hara

    It seems that there should be encoding for the apostrophe (') but I can't figure out what it is.

    the same way you pass spaces with %20, try %60

    sevenhalo ...

    Thanks, but that looks like a strange apostrophe on the other side .... whereas a space appears as a "normal" space after the encoding. Anyone else have an idea how to do this?

    %27, sorry. I was using that one with the ~ above it

    Edit: AKA the accent, but I don't know these things.
