Need to use URL Encode in CFDiv Tag ColdFusion, receiving error

In the below tag, if the variable in the "bind" has a percent sign/url/special characters in it, it fails. I believe I need to encode/decode the variable thisVarBreaks, can someone assist?

on main page I have:

<cfdiv id="myDiv" bind="url:/site/name/myPage.cfm?myVariable=#thisVarBreaks#"/>

Open in new window

On the myPage.cfm I have:

<cfif someThing neq #URL.thisVarBreaks#>Hello</cfif>

Open in new window

Not sure how an extra quote sneaked into the above example, but ... for the archives, the correct code is:

<cfdiv id="myDiv" 
      bind="url:/myPage.cfm?myVariable=#URLEncodedFormat(thisVarBreaks)#"/>
