HTML::Template and ESCAPE=URL

asmodai has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Well met fellow Monks,

I have a question concerning HTML::Template.</P.

I am using it fine up to now, where I want to use the ESCAPE=URL parameter.

<A HREF="editcustomer.pl?edit=1&customer=<TMPL_VAR ESCAPE="URL" NAME="name">">Edit data</A>

Now, when I get a page which fills in name it won't change the spaces to +'s like the manual page tells me this mode should.

Any hints, tips or ideas to ponder over in meditation?

After pondering the issue some more: It seems the escaping in IE 5.5x becomes visible only after you select the link. At least on my NT testbox here. w3m on my FreeBSD box showed it directly. sigh I'll go back to meditating now. --Jeroen/Asmodai	[reply]
