The use of the [raw] tag made it work.

I should h= ave defined my variable [selector] for you better.=C2=A0=C2=A0 [selector] i= s my page navigation variable.
It's set only by menu selection= s, so there is no chance of it being full of any unwanted characters.
So I don't worry about using a [url]

When my site firs= t launches,=C2=A0 [selector] is empty, because no menu selections have been= made yet.
This is why I was trying to test=C2=A0 for when it woul= d be empty.

Thanks again for the help.
