I am working on a site using both POST and GET forms and I use URL args frequently in the target:

action="subfolder/index_html?arg1=spam&arg2=eggs&..."

Using the '&' character in URLs is not legal HTML (4.0-strict). Does Zope recognize other arg separators besides '&'? I don't want to give up the way Zope parses and places the args into the namespace for me.

You can replace the '&' where it occurs in the arguments with %26 and it will be turned back into '&' when the url is processed. If you are building up the URL in DTML, then use the url_quote option on any expressions to escape all the illegal characters (or use the &dtml-xxx; syntax which escapes the &, but doesn't necessarily escape all the other bad characters.). For example: <dtml-let spam="'A nasty ?&:/\\ string\n'"> action="subfolder/index_html?arg1=&dtml-spam;&arg2=<dtml-var spam url_quote>&..." </dtml-let> produces: action="subfolder/index_html?arg1=A nasty ?&:/\ string &arg2=A%20nasty%20%3f%26%3a/%5c%20string%0a&..." -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
