I don't have an object to work with - I'm dealing with the calendar tag and need to create my own args list for a get post. The calendar tag gives me the date it's displaying like 4/15/2000, I need to convert that into the correct format for an HTML get. I can do it with a string replace, since I know exactly what to replace and it's format, but i was hoping there was already something that would do it properly, like url_quote, so I could just put: <dtml-calendar> <A HREF="set_date_cgi?<dtml-var date url_quote_plus>"><dtml-var "date.dd()"></A> <dtml-calendar> url_quote_plus is close, but it doesn't replace /.

<dmtl-var arg1 ???_quote> will give: this+is+a+string%20stuff.

that is url_quote ;-) or, be more precise url_quote_plus

You may have thought url_quote was '...'.absokute_url()

If you have an object x, "x.absolute_url" would return a url for the object.
