We do url encoding and decoding because in the RFC 1738
specification of URL (which defines the standards of url),
it limits URL to contain only 0-9 a-z, A-Z and $-_.+!*'(), characters.
So we needed a way to pass those characters which are not
supported by url specification.. so we have a way to pass the chars
in encoded format (%23) in url and convert it back to its orignal
form on server side (#)

I'm trying to understand the following part of a QueryString value: What
does the %23 mean? I presume that the 'efefef' is a color (RGB) value.
What about the '&'. I thought the ampersand (&) signaled another variable
in the querystring - but apparently not in this case?
BG=%23efefef&
Here's the entire querystring:
<form name="Form1" method="post"
action="Select_Destination.aspx?PG=ID3&BG=%23e fefef&template=templat e4.htm" id="Form1">
Thanks
