Character Conversion

[Alan Little]

I have a string that I'm properly URL-encoding to be passed in a URL.
Here's the tag from the HTML source:

<A HREF="javascript:openPopWin('takeit.php?568&10&dr. +hobo%27s+scalpel',
325, 325, 'scrollbars')">

But when I mouse-over the link, the %27 shows in the status bar as a ' and
when I click on it, I get a JS error because of the extraneous '. The +s
are not being decoded - why is this one character, and is there a way to
prevent it?

Thanks for the ref. That's much cleaner.
