thanks for looking... believe me i have tried searching for an answer for this,,, but i guess i must now seek wisdom from the forum

 

The line of code - $("#quote p").load("dbtester.asp?payor=" + $("#payorname").val());

doesn't like the selector payorname value having any spaces in it. If I sumbit with only one word in the input box then it works fine. Problem since i want to use this to write stings of info to db (not just one word at a time) :)

 

For example: if I submit using the string "Bobby Barker" using a text box as input ( $("#payorname").val() ) the querystring I receive is "BobbyBarker" (no space). But if I force a space by adding %20 between the name it worky fine.

 

is there anything i am over looking with the selector value or do I have to do an instring replace function (sorry old vb asp guy here) swapping spaces for ascii equivs or is there another type input box that doesn't concatenate the seperate words?

 

OR... am i just totally missing something here??
