    take the double quotes off url. I think you misinterpreted encoding. You just want to make sure that the url you create is in the correct format. encodeURI and encodeURIComponent. But skip that for now. window.location(url) will redirect the current page to a new page indicated by url window.open(url) will open a new browser window, or a new tab, with the value url it always works unless your url value has an error in it. I would have to see the string you created to see if it is a valid format.

        I need to see the url string after construction, just use alert(url);, and copy the result in this window. Most likely, you string may be corrupt, and the function failed.

          If you can't get construct the url, show me your header code for pointing to the js file, and post the entire javascript function. I'm taking off in 20 minutes to watch big bang theory on tv, so hurry.

                It looks good. I'd have to say in theory, that the . in the ip address are interfering, there being picked up as a special url character, so you have to encode the dots. Even if you encode the dots, there still dots. I saw the remarked out urlencode, looks like you tried it, but it still didn't work. I'm watching my bowling videos now, but check the valid url character set, try the encoding again, paste the results directly into the url bar, until you find something that works. You may have to replace the dots with another char, to get it to work. try I think %20 which is a space, or an underscore _, I can't remember the encoded value for it, but there are charts on the web, url encoding %20 should find a chart. Be back tommorow, I'm -8 GMT. I have bowling tommorrow night, so it has to be before 18:00 -8 gmt. Edit: I thinking that the url is a bad idea. Maybe a hidden textbox to store the ip is better.

                  Really thanks for your time & reply.... Your answers are really helped me out very well to debug depth about URL encoding cooncepts. In the mean time i have gone through some articles about this issue and tried by returning false after a function call. And also where i am using location.replace(url). now it is working fine but yet to test in all scenarios and all browser versions. i will get back to you on the said time tommorrow. bye take care.

                    Oh, That was fast. Browsers pretty much work the same, so since it failed on all browsers means that the problem was not with the browser. You have to encode everything you transmit, UTF8 is a set of chars from 1 to 127, that is unicode, and decode everything you receive. asp.net is a high level wrapper, that talks to c++ code underneath, so the principles of character encoding still apply. They don't tell you that in the books. Have fun and go forward, your day will be productive. jkirkerx Oh, give me a vote, some day I might be a mvp.
