using dreqmweaver 8, and using Advanced Open Windows to try to open a pop up which is filtered on a parameter - the required parameter, for instance, is

localhost/acerola/designer_profile.asp?designer_name=Sergio%20Rodrigues

when the parameter is passed though, it passes

localhost/acerola/designer_profile.asp?designer_name=Sergio Rodrigues

without the %20 between the names

it therefore doesnt work.

if i pass the parameter without using Advanced Open Windows it passes the parameter fine.

any clues on what i'm doing wrong and how i right it in Advanced open Windows (i'm using the browse button to find the file and add the designer_name recordset parameter to get the required parameter to pass.

any help gratefully appreciated

You need to use the UrlEncode Method or an escape method. There is alot of information on both. here is one from w3 schools:
