Menu stripping urls problem

Hi - I use your brilliant menu at my non-profit website at http://www.alienexistence.com.

I have been trying to use urls like:

/index.php?action=profile;sa=statPanel
/index.php?action=profile;sa=account

But what is happening is it strips anthing after the ; symbol so the urls above look like:

/index.php?action=profile
/index.php?action=profile

What would I need to do to preserve these types of urls with ; in the address?

Many thanks :-)

Hi,

You need to 'escape' all the url since the menu gets confused if it has a semi-colon assuming that is the end of the particular statement.

So, for example, in the following the whole url has been wrapped in single quotes, no space though, I only put that there so you could see it better. You would do the same with your url

Code:
url=' http://www.mysite.com/MyApp/myservlet;jsessionid=1E6FEC0D14D04429ED?_option=XX ';");


Hope this helps.

Ruth

Thankyou Ruth worked a treat. I couldn't work it out initially as i used a ' symbol (under the __at__ ) instead of ` which works fine :)

many thanks
