JS Help +REP

[Dentafrice1]

I`m working with scriptaculous


<script src='scriptaculous/prototype.js'></script>
<script src='scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js'></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var ajax;
function mydate2() {
ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
'datestr2', // DIV id must be declared before the method was called
'getdate.php?namde="'+document.test.hey.value+'"', // URL
{ // options
method:'post'
});

}
</script>
<form name="test">


<p><input type="text" name="hey" id="hey" onChange="mydate2();" size="20">
</form>

<div id="datestr2"></div>

The input goes to the JS which updates the datestr2 div with an image.

Why won't it pass my input via the url?

Any help gets rep

I get that but when I input test, the URL is.

getdate2.php?name=\&#37;22yea\%22?

If you are using special characters then the browser will convert them so just reconvert at the other end.

Ie..

<?php urldecode($_GET['name']); ?>
