URL breaks when '&' appears in the link

I have this issue. I am using this code to send through email a URL
<a href="mailto:?subject=YourSubject&body=http://myURL.url.com/<%=sDestUrl1%>">Click here to send this
report</a>
Now this variable sDestURL is pretty long and it contains so many '&'s in between. In the email I find that it breaks exactly where the '&' appears. I understand that I may need to use an askii character for it and replace it with it where the '&' appears. Am I right ? What is the askii character for '&' ? I would appreciate any suggestions.

I just got bit by the following query string, but only in IE, Netscape handles in fine:
?location=this&region=that
I ran it through URLEncoder so that doesn't handle it.
I had to change the param name 'region'. Why? Because
IE sees "&re" as the character entity for 'circle R' even when not followed by ';'
Seems like IE wants to second guess me. Isn't that special.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this one?

  • Why am I getting an "unsupported url" error when I click the link to find my apple id?

    When I click the link to change my password or to find my apple id, I get a blank page with only "unsupported url error".  I've tried on multiple devices and while I can log on with one apple ID, I can not get any of the links to change id or password or to find an  additonal password to work.  Any suggestions?

  • When trying to verify my sync acct e-mail I get an error message that the URL is invalid. When I check the link, all that shows up is http// and nothing el

    When I check the link all that shows is http// and nothing else. It does this repeatedly. I am using Outlook for Windows 8.1. I haven't tried any other embedded e-mail links to see if this is a universal problem or just isolated to this particular e-mail.

    Hi dscraper,
    Thank you for posting your question. At this time there is a known issue that we are working on a fix for. The Outlook link is not working for Outlook 2013 email addresses.

    Hello,
    Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
    * To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
    * To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
    * To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
    You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    '''Using NoSquint:'''
    #After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
    #*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    #Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    #*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    Please let us know if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • When I click the link to install Firefox to my Android phone I recieve the error: The requested item could not be found.

    My phone is an LG Optimus, presumable of the type necessary to install Firefox. The download does not appear when I click the link.
    Duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781287

    Sorry but this phone is not compatible with the current mobile Firefox releases due to the ARMv6 (ARM11) CPU it uses when release work on ARMv7 cpu's.
    Also it needs the Android 2.1 update if you are still running 1.6
    You can perhaps try the experimental ARMv6 nightlies (Fennec).

    Hello lowellrich,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you are getting a pop-up message that you need to upgrade your internet browser.  Likely this is an advertisement, as any updates to Safari are done through the software update in the App Store.  I'd like you to please check your preferences to ensure pop-ups are being blocked, and to also clear out the Safari data on your Mac.

    Take care,

  • Hello All, I have an older MAC and currently have iPhoto 09, version 8.1.2. Every time iPhoto is opened I get a message about a upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto, but when I select the link, it takes me to the Apple website and says the page I'm look

    Hello All,
    I'm Gene. I have an older MAC desktop and am running iPhoto 09, version8.1.2 (424). Each time I connect my iphone to my MAC I get a message that there is a newer version of iPhoto, but when I select the link, I am taken to the Apple webpage and get a message that the page I'm looking for is not available. All I would like to do is upgrade my iPhoto. Do I need to upgrade to the latest version of iWork, and if so, what version and how would I do that? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

    The iPhoto version that is currently available at the App Store os 9.5.1 and requires the Mavericks OS X.  The early 2008 24" iMac can run Mavericks.  Once you have Mavericks installed (it's free)  you can purchase iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store.
    If you don't want to upgrade to Mavericks you can purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com and install iPhoto 9.  Then up trade it to 9.4.3 via the updaters at the  Apple Downloads website: Apple - Support - Search

  • How to Get the value when clicking on the link

    I had a problem with when clicking on the link.
    I need get the link value to the controller when clicking on the link.
    I am displaying the database columns in jsp using repeater in links.
    I am displaying the data like this:
    RED
    BLUE
    GREEN
    these are three links.when clicking on the link RED. RED should go to the controller.
    After getting RED to the controller i will get the RED value from the database.

    my requirement is like that only
    I have just given the example of emp and dept
    emp(empno,zone_group_id,zone_id,deptno,ename,emp_p_ind,last_update_datetime);
    dept_emp(empno,dept_no,loc,dname,sal_emp,grade,last_update_datetime);
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emp_zone AS
    SELECT e.empno,
          (select zone_group_id from price_zone_group where rownum = 1) zone_group_id,
           d.loc zone_id,    
           d.grade,  
           d.last_update_datetime,
      FROM dept_emp d
          emp e
    WHERE d.empno=e.empno
       AND e.emp_p_ind = 'Y'
      WITH READ ONLY;
    Now
    my requirement is to get the data of emp_zone view and needs to store those data into some other temp table
    if any of the above base table got updated deleted or inserted then the view last_updatetime also will get updated but problem is why im not using base table
    direct because it is having huge data and it performance issue .i have to get the value on the basis of view only and using some logic

  • When I'm on a page with many links it used to highlight or underline the link I was looking at ... so when it opened the link in a new window, I could look back and not lose my place

    It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .
      I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash. 

  • Safary hangs, when clicking on the link to *.dmg or *.zip file

    Hello!
    Safary hangs, when clicking on the link to *.dmg or *.zip file. If I choose "save to downloads" from drop-down menu, everything is ok, but it's not always possible to choose that on the link. For example, if I try to download and install Safary from apple web page -safary perfectly hangs.

    Keywords for further research: CSS, pseudo-classes
    But you should think twice before taking away the default
    underline from
    links. How else are users supposed to find links in a bunch
    of text?
    Just a different color is not enough!
