I'm often frustrated by the encoding and display intricacies of passing messages around in gets/posts, so I usually end up doing one of the following. (Choose the one that's best for your situation.)
1) put the message in a cookie, then have the target page (or all pages for that matter) check the 'message' cookie and display whatever is in there. 2) stick a message in a session variable (if you're using session) and display whatever message is there. These two have always worked for me. I usually do # 2, and have code on every page to check for messages and display. I also have a shared javascript lib for how the message is presented, so it works on every page. Hope this helps...
