Parameterized URL String

[vdefazzio]

I've searched but haven't found any suitable solutions to my problem, so I'm reaching out for a little help with this.

What I am trying to do is send a Pipe delimited, Parameterized URL String based on the input of a form:
What I want to send, for example= (url has been sanitized)

https://xxxxxxx.xxxxxx-xx.com?ACS@TPV

=$0000000000|KP39|Bob Survey|Sue Survey|~5555551212|9999999999|0|0|0|0|0|0|1234 here lane|ACS@TPV =$

What shows up in the address bar:

https://xxxxxxx.xxxxxx-xx.com/?ACS@...y|~5555551212|9999999999|0|0|0|0|0|0|1234 her

e%20lane|ACS@TPV%20=$

How can I remove the forward slash after .com, as well as send real spaces instead of %20's.
I can write it to screen, which happens to be the first example, and it is exactly as I want it. When I window.location = it shows up as the latter example.
My code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function processForm(form) {
var ordernumber = form.ordernumber.value;
var centercode = form.centercode.value;
var contactname = form.contactname.value;
var billingname = form.billingname.value;
var billingphone = form.billingphone.value;
var phonewtn = form.phonewtn.value;
var localservice = form.localservice.value;
var tollservice = form.tollservice.value;
var longdistanceservice = form.longdistanceservice.value;
var localservicefreeze = form.localservicefreeze.value;
var tollservicefreeze = form.localservicefreeze.value;
var longdistanceservicefreeze = form.longdistanceservicefreeze.value;
var serviceaddress = form.serviceaddress.value;
var posturl = "xxxxxxx.xxxxxx-xx.com?ACS@TPV";
var post= (posturl + " =$" + ordernumber + "|" + centercode + "|" + contactname + "|" + billingname + "|~" + billingphone + "|" + phonewtn + "|" + localservice + "|" + tollservice + "|" + longdistanceservice + "|" + localservicefreeze + "|" + tollservicefreeze + "|" + longdistanceservicefreeze + "|" + serviceaddress + "|" + "ACS@TPV =$")

//document.write(post);
window.location = post;
//End -->

</script>

Why are you wanting to do this, out of curiosity?

I don't think that you'll be able to remove the forward slash after the .com because I don't think you can append querystring values to the address without it.

Additionally, spaces are invalid characters in urls. You are not going to get the url to display with spaces in your browser. However, if you're trying to extract information from the querystring after the page has loaded, replace all the escaped characters in the querystring by using the unescape function.

var url = window.location;
alert(unescape(url));

The %20 is the html code for a blank space as you can't have true blank spaces in URL. Not really sure how you can remove the / after xxx.com as it is trying to search in that root.
