Specific URL will not allow "?"

[andyspocket]

When using the Specific URL feature, will not allow "?" to be in the URL link.
This is critical for me to process a dynamic page to display in the dialog window.
I also tried using ? ascii code with same non-working result.

Any easy fix?

Do you mean "?" as in a normal query?
Because I can't recreate the problem.

This jsFiddle doesn't return any HTML (since the dialog is using jQuery load and not POST) but the request goes through without any problem: http://jsfiddle.net/nszYD/1/

Try any URL that includes a ? character

Like this

http://www.drummaker.net/1-800-NEW-DRUM/www.drummaker.com/FMPro?-db=dm%5fproducts.fp5&-format=detailpop.htm&IDname=remo%20head&-recid=33760&-token.0=3758415114&-find=

That doesn't look much different from what i tried with the above jsfiddle.
Are you getting any error messages at all?

Could it be that the plugin is using 'GET' and your service requires 'POST' method or something?
I just pushed a version of the plugin that supports setting the request method to 'POST' and also supply an object with the request, like so:

$.dialog({
    url: 'http://www.drummaker.net/1-800-NEW-DRUM/www.drummaker.com/FMPro',
    request: {
        '-db': 'dm%5fproducts.fp5',
        '-format': 'detailpop.htm',
        'IDname': 'remo%20head',
        '-recid': '33760',
        '-token.0': '3758415114',
        '-find': ''
    }
});

It's working just fine on this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nszYD/2/
