I'm using Oxygen 10.x
I have image urls that our users use that look like this: " https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=large&background=white "
When these URLs are opened, they pull in the right button based upon the owner, color, size, and background.
If I try to use this image URL as-is in the image tag, I get an error because the "&" means the following word is treated as an HTML entity name such as © or &trade.
So I changed the "&" in the URL to "&"
Now I don't get an error, but I also don't get an image.
Is there a way to modify this URL so it retrieves the right image using the syntax I'm using? I can't point to an image without using these parameters.
Try URL escaping instead of an entity. The ampersand is %26 in that scheme, the question mark is %3F, and the equals %3D. It's the hex value of the character, which you can always get from the Windows char utility. HTH! -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy@omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
