    Posted: 26 March 2003 at 2:24pm

Hello All,

I am trying to uset the Respond.Redirect method to redirect a person to another website once I have checked a few things from a prior form.  The redirect URL is being changed for some reason.  The statement is:

respond.redirect "https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=cmn......."

When I run the code and the browser is redirected the URL in the address area of the browser looks somthing like this

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business%3udcmn......

its as if the = is being replaced for some reason... Any help would greatly appreciated.

you cannot use "Response.Redirect" for an external URL, it'll only point to files on the webserver itself

Sorry MorningZ but you can use Redirects to external URL's no prob (Maybe you confused it with includes). the = is transformed well doesen't do it when i try, did you try to do an url encode on the url??

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what is a url encode? Here is the full URL that I am trying to redirect to:

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=cmn%........

If you just copy this URL into the Address line of the browser it works just fine or click on it above... but after the redirect gets done with it it looks like this

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business%3Dcmn%.......

I tried using a Server.urlEnclode("url") but got even worse results... I really need some help with since I am getting short on time to make this work.  Please HELP!
