SelectPageSpaced

Problem

When you populate an input select with page link values it only works if you use a non-spaced link aliases. If you try to use spacing, generated by the page variables $Namespaced or $Titlespaced the spacing breaks the displayed input values (by causing the closing link markup ]]to display)

Solved

If the returned value will have spaces then you need to enclose in quotations the underlying value argument (variable) even if that entered value does not, itself, have any spaces.

Sample input select boxes

Select Name (ok)

Select Name Spaced (broken)

Select Name Spaced (fixed with quotes)

Select Title Spaced (broken)

Select Title Spaced (fixed with quotes)
