Perfect. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/stripping-underscores-from-url-parameter#post-18574 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:02:28 +0000 yuniar 18574@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>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.</p> <p>Like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.somewebsite.org.uk/machform/view.php?id=2456&#38;element_72=Some+data+to+add" rel="nofollow">http://www.somewebsite.org.uk/machform/view.php?id=2456&#38;element_72=Some+data+to+add</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/stripping-underscores-from-url-parameter#post-18563 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:53:13 +0000 johnlaidlaw 18563@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am adding some data to a single line text field on a form by passing the data via the url.</p> <p>e.g. <a href="http://www.somewebsite.org.uk/machform/view.php?id=2456&#38;element_72=Some_data_to_add" rel="nofollow">http://www.somewebsite.org.uk/machform/view.php?id=2456&#38;element_72=Some_data_to_add</a></p> <p>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.</p> <p>Is there anyway to strip these out automatically when the data is inserted into the element.</p> <p>Thank you </p>
