Using asp,  how do I pass space in querystring? Is there a
straightforward way without using java script?

Hello Dbarod,

You can use the "%20" or "+" character to pass a space in a
query-string. Or, if you pass the value using a form, you can simply
include the space-character.
See the following ASP (XHTML/ VBScript) sample, named "default.asp":

<p>You submitted "<% = request.queryString("test") %>"</p>

<p><a href="default.asp?test=Hello%20World">Test</a></p>

<form action="default.asp" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="test" id="test" value="Hello World" />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>


Hope that helps!

I guess I should have made my question more detailed. I have a
character string "New Mexico" assigned to a variable "varwicagency". I
pass the variable using

<input type="hidden" name="wic" value=<%=varwicagency%>>

I have other identical code where this works just fine and blanks are
passed along with anything afterwards, but in this case the passed
string always comes out as .....&wic=New&..... so it it losing
everything after the blank.

Verrrrry interesting. I unhid the field by changing it to a "text"
field and sure enough, only the "New" shows up in the box. So the
problem is before the passing.

I added the second name "Mexico" into the text field and the blank was
passed OK.

Hello Dbarod,

It's important to put quotes around the attribute value, so that it reads:
<input type="hidden" name="wic" value="<%=varwicagency%>"> 

Then the string will be passed along OK.

Hope that helps!

I don't take 5 star for granted. This person zeroed right in on my
problem and helped a lot. Very fast turnaround on the follow up too. I
got two answered for the price of one.
