removing %20 from Querystring 1

[mts176]

I have written a HTML page that collects information passes it to another HTML page that in turn calls a Perl Script to send an email to people. My problem is in Internet Explores prior to 5.5 the spaces between first and last names, addresses, and everything else get passed with the %20 instead of the whitespace. How can I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

This will not be an issue when your Perl script handles the data; the param() function will replace the special characters.

But if you want to "clean up" the strings upon arrival to page 2, you can use the JavaScript method "unescape." That will return you a string with all special characters converted to their ascii values.

A little more information is included here:

Hope that helps.
