form field cutting off querystring

[Joey Martin]

I have the following link:
http://foo.com/accountlogin.asp?refer=contactform.asp?toid=101&itemid=9&
itemtype=horse

a form field that should read the refer=querystring cuts off after the
toid=101. I assume that because I have
referpage=request.querystring("refer")

Is there any way to make it read the entier section after refer= and not
stop and the variable?

Try...

referpage = Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("refer"))

You're going to have mixed results on different browsers and platforms
trying to pass two question marks in the URL like that. I suggest using
Server.URLEncode on the first page, before you pass it across.

Response.Redirect "accountlogin.asp?refer=" &
Server.URLEncode("contactform.asp?toid=101&itemid=9&itemtype=horse")

The Unencode will happen automatically when you retrieve
Request.QueryString("refer")

That seems to pass it all but it changes all the characters to gibberish
(to their character codes). Any ideas?
