passing a string with spaces in netscape via get

[Anon]

When I pass this in Netscape:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function envari(campo){
camp = campo.value; //camp = "Hi Boys"
var nw = window.open("modif.php?<?=SID?>&campo="+camp+"","Create","width=400,height=225,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,status=yes");
if (!nw.opener) nw.opener=self;
if (nw.focus!=null) nw.focus();
}
-->
</script>

and in the page modif.php when I recover the variable $campo, if this variable had some spaces the values that return the diferent browsers are:

• Netscape: $campo = "Hi"
• Explorer: $campo = "Hi Boys"

I've consultated the global variables:
- Netscape:
$REQUEST_METHOD = "GET"
$QUERY_STRING = "&campo=Hi"

• Explorer:
  $REQUEST_METHOD = "GET"
  $QUERY_STRING = &campo=Hi%20Boys

I need that Netscape understand the spaces. Anyone knows the answer?
I'm clueless about how to solve it.
Thank you.

you need to urlencode the string, PHP has a built in function urlencode() and urldecode(), i'm not sure if JavaScript has its own, but in order to pass a string through any browser, obviously IE does not follow this standard, you must have the url encoded, eg the string "Hi Boys" would be come "Hi+Boys" after being encoded and after decoding would become "Hi Boys"

I believe the javascript funciton is just encode(), a top level function.

I've just try the function encode(camp) ant Netscape returns : encode is not defined in JavaScript;

The correct function is escape().

How much sleep must we lose over JavaScript's dependency issues? I say can
Javascript altogether, use PHP for everything.
