Query String syntax help please.

[anthonycervantes]

I am trying to pass an email address using a query string. It works most of the time. The times it doesn't is when the email address has certain characters in it. For example:
john&doe@email.com
or
john#doe@email.com

I works for stuff like:
john$doe@email.com

A. Which symbols are used by IE in query strings?
B. How do I pass # and & and other special characters in a query string.
C. How would I get around this problem?

Thank you so much for helping me out.

str=&quot;john&amp;doe@email.com&quot;
urlstr=escape(str)
alert(urlstr)
backtonormal=unescape(urlstr)
alert(backtonormal)
