Comments:
I thought you might like this bit of coding for the users that needed to decode spaces as + and can't use the hex equivelent.

function dcode(string) {
string = unescape(string);
string = replace(string,"+"," ");
return string;
}

function replace(string,text,by) {
// Replaces text with by in string
var strLength = string.length, txtLength = text.length;
if ((strLength == 0) || (txtLength == 0)) return string;

var i = string.indexOf(text);
if ((!i) && (text != string.substring(0,txtLength))) return string;
if (i == -1) return string;

var newstr = string.substring(0,i) + by;

if (i+txtLength < strLength)
newstr += replace(string.substring(i+txtLength,strLength),text,by);

return newstr;
}

I hope this is useful. The replace can be used for other things as well. Please let me know if this coes in hand.
