Q1743 When placing the value of a JavaScript variable into a URL request, how do I correctly format the variable value, so that spaces etc are converted into the standard html request syntax?

Use the escape() method, for example:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var data = 'Hello world';
var url = 'http://somewhere.com/index.htm?name=' + escape(data);
location.href = url;
//--></script>
