Might I suggest using PHP's urlencode() to encode the string, and Javascript's function unescape()?

A standard!? In Javascript!? You must be joking. :-) Nope. But it's not difficult. You simply have to access the url string with 'document.location.href', parse out the values individually and replace the space placeholders. Can't remember what the exact javascript function would be.. I think it's 'string.replace' or something like that. I'm certain a quick search.will reveal exactly what you need. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pushkar Pradhan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kyle Gibson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: how to send spaces in the url > Thanks to all who responded. > I think I should have mentioned that I am trying to send these vars. in > the url to a javascript pg. thus won't have access to php on the other > side (i.e. I want to keep it this way for speed). > So as Kyle suggested to replace the " " is the only way?
