Default passing multiple values

hi all,

can anyone help me here. I have recently migrated over to a new server and the Javascript that I had in my code now partly works.

I am passing several variables over across to the next web page like this:

http://www.domain.co.uk/downloads/do...c/001/file.pdf

where the user is able to complete a form with their details before they can download. When they click submit to the confirmation page the url then shows up as:

http://www.domain.co.uk/downloads/th...c/001/file.pdf

BUT the ampersand symbol '&' has turned into '&amp' and thus the variable 'downloadname' no longer works.

What is happening to the & symbol and how can i rectify this??

All help much appreciated.

Thanks.


Michael.

problem solved. it was the cgi-form stripping out any unwanted characters in the form and the URL.

Thanks.
