Stripping underscores from url parameter
Started 11 years ago by johnlaidlaw | 3 posts |

I am adding some data to a single line text field on a form by passing the data via the url.
e.g. http://www.somewebsite.org.uk/machform/view.php?id=2456&element_72=Some_data_to_add
The data usually has spaces in it so I have replaced these with underscores to ensure that the hyperlink works. But of course the underscores now appear in the data field on the form.
Is there anyway to strip these out automatically when the data is inserted into the element.
Thank you

Instead of doing any modification, I suggest to use the "+" character or "%20" to pass space. It is a valid character and the link should be working fine.
