Getting user's two word selection from a dropdown

[Dave]

Hi all,

I'm trying to pick up a user's selection from a simple selection box using
a form:

<Form <% Request.ServerVariables("Script_Name") %>" METHOD="POST">
<SELECT name=browseType>
<OPTION value="New Items">New Items</OPTION>
<OPTION value="Old Items">New Items</OPTION>
<INPUT TYPE=image src="image_files/Go.gif" NAME="Browse" VALUE="Browse">
</form>

However after posting only the first word is picked up for the variable -
i.e. New or Old.

dim browsetype
browseType = Request.Form("BrowseType")

Can anyone please explain to me why this is and how I can fix it.

Many thanks in advance,
Dave

hi dave,
you need to replace the space with "%20" like this:
<OPTION value="New%20Items">New Items</OPTION>
<OPTION value="Old%20Items">New Items</OPTION>
