& in a string to pass through url param

[TIMLORI]

I am trying to add a list/menu in DW2004, and for each option I need to pass
url paramerters the problem I am having is concantinating & in a string
example: <option value='<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('MLSNum').Value) &amp;
'&amp;custid=16'%>'><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('To ur2Name').Value)%></option>
It displays jibberish in browser where ever the &amp; or = is in a string.
Example:
[url]http://360vegastour.com/vtviewer.asp?mls=460821%26custid%3D16&amp;Submit=V iew[/url]
Thank You in advance

I would build your value up outside of the <option> statement but inside of
you repeat region like this

<%
LinkURL = Recordset1.Fields.Item('MLSNum').Value & "&custid=16"
%>
<option
value='<%=LinkURL%>'><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('T our2Name').Value)%></optio
n>

Shouldn't that be

LinkURL = Recordset1.Fields.Item('MLSNum').Value & "&amp;custid=16"
^^^^^
instead?

Thanks guys but that didnt do it for some reason the ampersand (&amp;) and the
equals(=) will not display correctly in browser for passing url paramerters, I
cant believe Macromedia wouldnt have thought we might want to send more than 1
param at a time from list/menu, so I know there has to be a way to say in code
not to recognize &amp; or = as string concantinators but as a string itself, I
know in VB you would just add like double quotes but I dont know any other
sujestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again

<option value="<%=Server.URLEncode(Recordset1.Fields.Item( "MLSNum").Value &
"&custid=16"%>"><%=Recordset1.Fields.Item("Tour2Na me").Value%></option>
