JS Help +REP

I`m working with scriptaculous

Code:

---

        <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

Code:

---

<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" method="get">


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

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

Passing data along a URL is get

Code:

---

<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?name="'+document.test.hey.value+'"',        // URL
        {                // options
        method:'get'           
            });

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


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

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

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

getdate2.php?name=\%22yea\%22?

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

Ie..

PHP Code:

---

<?php urldecode($_GET['name']); ?>

Thanks +rep to you both, I dont need it anymore :P

Hmm ill have a go now

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