So I have a radio button

<input type="radio" name="obj" value="1">

And would like, when it is selected to submit 2 values, so I have

<input type="radio" name="obj" value="1"><% response.write "&test=" & i %>" />

Which looks fine in the source code of the page

name="obj" value="1&test=2"

but when submitted passes as

obj=1%26test%3D2

how can i get the %26 to be an '&' and the %3D to be an '='

Is there a way to workaround this?? Can this even be done??

thanks

I know the entity for '&' is '&amp;', not sure about '=' though.

ok, that didn't come out right. '&' is '& a m p ;' (remove spaces)<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi folks. Did anyone figure this out? I'm trying to do the same thing and can't get it to work.

Alternately, you can separate the values in the submitting field by putting a comma between the values, but then I don't know how to handle the output. It comes across as "4,5". Any way to break those two values up?

Thanks!
