Stan,<br><br>For some reason, when I tried to create a URL using the "[url]" commands with a "=" with this URL:<br><br>http://www.drbott.com/prod/action.lasso?-database=Products.fp3&-layout=All&publish=Yes&-response=RetailH.html&Vendor=West Ridge Designs&-logicalop=and&-maxRecords=20&-search=Start+Search<br><br><br>The BB was stopping the URL at the first HTML for a "space" = "% 20"<br><br>i don't know what this was happening. In PHP you could put a "urlencode" command around the reformatting code, but i have no idea what the PERL command would be.<br><br>Just thought I'd let you know about this potential issue, while the BB is still relatively small (though growing every day <br><br>John<br><br><br>***<br>"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle.

which browser?? I have found that I have to go to the site I want to use the URL of and copy the URL and bring it back as often as not typing it in results in some internal error<br>see what happens when I do it your way<br>[color:blue]first up i found that copy pasting it from your post gave a return/space in the middle of west...ridge, but that by noting and deleting that space before posting, the URL worked fine</font color=blue> <br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================

tree beard...<br><br>The URL works, and brings up a webpage from dr.bott that has no results, which is hardly useful.<br><br>click on your link, and you'll see what I mean.<br><br>john<br><br>***<br>"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle.

no did you want results? oh..... sorry maybe i didn't pay enough attention.. some search engines don't want you cross linking searches and thus losing ad click revenue.<br> I recently noticed a change to a couple of search URLs that made my linking from another client outdated. I had to re-hack the urls otherwise all they would do was go to blank search pages and make me type and click...again <br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================

gee that is a terribly slow search engine..<br><br>=============================================================<br>| "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." |<br>=============================================================

It has nothing to do with the search engine treebeard. It's lasso and FMP, and seems pretty quick to me here, perhaps it's the latency in your connection? I dunno.<br><br>the particular issue that I'm having is with the BB assuming that I'm typing in HTML when I'm not, or replacing characters that it shouldn't with other characters.<br><br>Just an FYI for Stan and the gang.<br><br>John<br><br>***<br>"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle.
