Link with entry doesn't work properly

I have an inline frame where I want to put a URL to an external address with ">entry=..." in it. The URL works, but the entry is ignored. The actual line I want is

https://www.cognitoforms.com/PenninePRa ... "Pennine"}

That works well in a standalone browser and fills out "Which District" with the value "Pennine". But inside the inline frame, the field is left blank.

Once again, what am I missing or is this option not supported in a link?

thanks

Alan
PS - this is a bit of a showstopper if it's not supported.

I have solved it by using an HTML frame and using some iFrame code, but that doesn't answer the original question

Note that quotes and other special characters should be encoded, otherwise the inline frame URL attribute will not be valid.

https://www.cognitoforms.com/PenninePRa ... chDistrict" : "Pennine"}
should be:
https://www.cognitoforms.com/PenninePRa ... nine%22%7D
