interpreted = N
texte = Don't URL un-named parameters - WebDNA will only do an automatic UNURL if the parameter is named. For example: [redirect [url]dest.html?p1=a&p2=b[/url]] will try to redirect to a page named "dest.html%3Fp1%3Da%26p2%3Db" Either of these will work fine - no parameter name and no url context, or add the url= parameter name and keep the url context: [redirect dest.html?p1=a&p2=b] [redirect url=[url]dest.html?p1=a&p2=b[/url]] Also, don't URL if the values have already been URL'ed, unless you want to actually pass the URL'ed value, since the second URL will URL the percent signs generated by the first URL. There are cases where you do want this double-URL, though, such as storing encrypted values in cookies. As an example: [text]var=[url]ab&cd[/url][/text] [replace db=...]field1=[var]&field2=[url][var][/url][/replace] would result in field1 containing "ab&cd", while field2 would contain "ab%26cd" - brian On Mar 15, 2004, at 7:54 AM, devaulw@onebox.com wrote: > For the sake of discussion, when is it not appropriate to wrap > parameters or user input in [url] tags? > > Thanks. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Peacock
