When clicking the link, nothing happens!: code to link w/querystrings formatted: <a href="prov-results1.aspx?county=< %#Server.UrlEncode(Request.QueryString("county")) & "&subcat=" & Server.UrlEncode((Eval("SubCategory").ToString())) & "&category=" & Server.UrlEncode((Eval("Category").ToString())) & "&uregion=" & Server.UrlEncode((Eval("uregion").ToString()))%>"><%# Eval("SubCategory")%></a> url generated for working link: http://www.lasvegasunions.info/prov-results1.aspx?county=Clark&subcat... a subcat link that i just added, but doesnt work; url generated for non-working link: http://www.lasvegasunions.info/prov-results1.aspx?county=Clark&subcat... when view sourcing in browser, this link works: <a href="prov-results1.aspx? county=Clark&subcat=Maintenance&category=Autos+++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++&uregion=lv">Maintenance</a> view sourcing in browser, this link does not work: <a href="prov-results1.aspx? county=Clark&subcat=Auctions&category=Autos&uregion=lv">Auctions</a> ....the link that works has spaces/+ signs in it, but I am stripping spaces with Server.UrlEncode (?????) ....i tried using asp:hyperlink and NavigateUrl with this, but it was a mess with incorrectable "Expected Statement" errors TIA mr. ed First of all, when creating your databinding expression, you need to be
careful with your quotes. Because you are using double-quotes (") to surround your entire href, the expression is confused when it sees you using double-quotes in the individual pieces as well. To fix this, use single-quotes to surround the entire thing instead. Also, I believe you need to use the + sign as the concatenation operator when combining individual parts in the expression, regardless of you programming language. Have you checked to see exactly what is generated when you do the databinding? Sometimes looking at what is generated can help, we all make stupid little mistakes, even on the simplest tasks.
