";" in URL and I can't escape it.

I am using url rewriting on a few of my domains. The separator for this is a semi-colon. I can't add a "\" before it so I'm looking for suggestions. Thank you.

aI("text=Home;url=/index.jsp;jsessionid=aKREMJc6Inqg;;status=Done;separatorsize=1");

No idea if this will work in your situation, but another escape character is the single back quote...

That helped a bit

thanks that worked but I can't put anything in the url itself.

can I use javascript to do a string replace in the middle of the ai element? it's a long shot.

Hi thrive,

The backquote isn't so much an escape for a single character, in the traditional programming sense. Rather, text in the aI() string that's surrounded with backquotes is treated differently; more literally.

Try this:

I'm assuming you want a ; at the end of your url string, as in your initial example. Also note the ; before the closing " in the aI() string.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

2nd use of a semi-colon???

How come the second back quotes trick doesn't work? My output ends after Drain ... why is this?

EDIT: Fixed ... I wrapped the whole url in back quotes and it worked.
