Issue with ampersand in Input element - html

I have a form element on my ASP page, and under the <input> element there is a "value" attribute, in which I have an email recipient.
However, the email address has an ampersand (&) in it, and I'm not sure how to encode it for a HTML attribute...any help would be appreciated.
I currently have this format, but I am not receiving the emails:
<input type="hidden" name="recipient*" value="data&info#example.com">
Should I be using %26 to encode it, or is & correct? Or am I just doing it wrong?
Thanks for the help!

In HTML you should use &
%26 is used for URL encoding, when there's an ampersant in a parameter of the page, for example.

& should work fine, can you send/receive an email to that address manually?

I am trying to register barnes and noble account
what is the accepted phone-number format here?
I can see the HTML code for the pattern attribute is
^((1|\+1)?(\s|-|.)?)?((\(|\s\()?[2-9]{1}\d{2}|[2-9]{1}\d{2}(\)|\)\s)?)(\s|-|.)?(\d{3}(\s|-|.)?\d{4})
I tried to enter it in +1(319)123-4567

HTML GET with & in a parameter

I fured out, that I got a problem with the "&" in a parameter, because the browser is interpreting it as a new parameter. Using urlencode doesn't help.
Example: http://www.example.com?artist=Brooks & Dunn&title=Maria
Is there a way to go around that problem?
Use URL encoding to encode unsafe characters in an URL.
http://www.example.com?artist=Brooks%20%26%20Dunn&title=Maria

Set a mailto link with a subject containing an ampersand (&)

Im using the following mailto link to send an email:
<a class="share3" title="" href="mailto:?subject=#check&body=#domain">
It works well, but sometimes my subject will contain an ampersand (&) character, and when it does my email is created without a body.
Any way to resolve this problem?
In order to get special/reserved characters into a URL, you must encode them - to get an & to work, it must be encoded to %26.
More details here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
use %26 for the & in the subject.

How to send mail with a Subject using a Mailto URL?

I need to make a Mailto link to my website which is suppose to contain either the product name or the product page URL in the subject section. How can I do it?
Exp: When you get an email through eBay about a product you are selling or buying, you automatically know what product that email is about by seeing the product name in the subject section.
How can i do this?

I've run into problems with this before when I didn't url encode the value, so I would suggest (using lc's example):
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This+Is+My+Product">
or
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This%20Is%20My%20Product">
This page [Link Dead] outlines the syntax of mailto URIs:
Address message to multiple recipients
, (comma separating e-mail addresses)
Add entry in the "Subject" field
subject=Subject Field Text
Add entry in the "Copy To" or "CC" field
cc=id#internet.node
Add entry in the "Blind Copy To" or "BCC" field
bcc=id#internet.node
Add entry in the "Body" field
body=Your message here
Within the body use "%0A" for a new line,
use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line (paragraph),
What you are looking for is:
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This Is My Product">
Note, it's probably a good idea to URL encode the spaces with either a + or a %20:
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This+Is+My+Product">
Try This
If you want something more advanced, you're going to have to code it from scratch (or use someone else's script). Try looking into PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, etc.
Try this code to set subject, body, cc, bcc
