SYMPTOMS

When you use a Page Object Design-Time Control (DTC) in a page, and you insert a thisPage.navigateURL method call using a URL that contains spaces, you receive the following error message:

HTTP Error 400
400 Bad Request

Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the server. The client should not repeat the request without modifications.

RESOLUTION

Use the %20 character instead of spaces. For example, change "ASP Page 1.asp" to "ASP%20Page%201.asp".

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new Web project in Visual InterDev.
Create two Active Server Pages (ASP) pages named "ASP Page 1.asp" and "ASP Page 2.asp," and make sure that they exist in the same folder.
On "ASP Page 2.asp," add a page object DTC and a DTC command button.
Using the scripting outline, add an "onclick" handler for the button.

In the handler, add the following code:

      thisPage.navigateURL("ASP Page 1.asp")

View "ASP Page 2," and click the command button.
