URL with multiple ItemValues (formatted numbers)

Question

Hi, guys.
Another day, another prob... oops, wrong word, suppose to be another solution...
I have a page with simple report on it.Each record has a link which pointed to javascript
javascript:printable_rpt('#col1#',#col2#,#col3#,#col4#,#col5#,#col6#)
(col1 is a date, other columns are numbers like 123,456)
<script type="text/javascript">
function printable_rpt(p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6)
var v_values = p1+','+p2+','+p3+','+p4+','+p5+','+p6;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::NO:RP:
P2_HDN_1,P2_HDN_2,P2_HDN_3,P2_HDN_4,P2_HDN_5,P2_HDN_6:'+v_values;
w = open(url,"Criteria",
"Scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1,width=550,height=520,left=300,top=100");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
Page 2 is pure HTML page with the numbers i try to pass from page 1.
Everything looks simple and workable. But... There is always some buts... :)
Problem : because the numbers in report formatted with commas when
page 2 opens i have a pieces of numbers in my hidden items. (i.e.
if i sent 123,456 234,567 and so on, i get
123 in p2_HDN_1
456 in p2_HDN_2
234 in p2_HDN_3
567 in p2_HDN_4
and so on...
I searched help and found this :
itemValues
List of item values used to set session state within a URL.
Item values cannot include colons, but can contain commas if
enclosed with backslashes. To pass a comma in an item value,
enclose the characters with backslashes. For example:
\123,45\
So i tryed to do something like this:
v_values = p1+',\'+p2+'\,\'+p3+'\,\'+p4+'\,\'+p5+'\,\'+p6+'\';
Unfortunatly it does not work, giving error "Object expected".
Pls, help.
Thnks in advance

Hi, Scott.
Thanks for replay. I did try to put double backslashes and it did not work either. However it worked when i put double backslashes in javascript and single quotes in call for javascript :
javascript:printable_rpt('#col1#','#col2#','#col3#','#col4#','#col5#','#col6#')
var v_values = '\\'+p1+'\\,\\'+p2+'\\,\\'+p3+'\\,\\'+p4+'\\,\\'+p5+'\\,\\'+p6+'\\';
Interesting...
Thanks again for help.
Mike
