Question

I am having that problem that I am getting a different redirect link:

My code:

<script type="text/javascript">
            setTimeout(function() {
             window.location.href = "<%= @link.link %>";
            }, 1000);
</script>

The @link.link is:

<%= @link.link %> = http://tracking.euroads.dk/system/tracking.php?sid=1&cpid=3082&adid=544034&acid=4123&eatrackid=47402

The page that the user gets redirected to is:

http://tracking.euroads.dk/system/tracking.php?sid=1&cpid=3152&adid=551367&acid=4123&eatrackid=474027

The right url:

http://tracking.euroads.dk/system/tracking.php?sid=1&cpid=3082&adid=544034&acid=4123&eatrackid=47402

As you can see there are ; and that shouldnt there not be

I have also this javascript on the page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function showProgressDots(numberOfDots) {

    var progress = document.getElementById('progressDots');

    switch(numberOfDots) {
        case 1:
            progress.innerHTML = '.';
            timerHandle = setTimeout('showProgressDots(2)',200);
            break;
        case 2:
            progress.innerHTML = '..';
            timerHandle = setTimeout('showProgressDots(3)',200);
            break;
        case 3:
            progress.innerHTML = '...';
            timerHandle = setTimeout('showProgressDots(1)',200);
            break;
    }
}
window.setTimeout('showProgressDots(1)',100);
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Based on this <%= @link.link %> and your username I presume you are using Rails.

Try to change this row:

window.location.href = "<%= @link.link %>";

to this

window.location.href = "<%= raw @link.link %>";

Your url is htmlencoded. Which means your & characters becomes &. raw should fix that I think
