JS encoding text when window.opener is used 1

[developer155]

I have a pop up (asp.net page) that have JS that sends a fields value to a field on the opener page:
window.opener.document.frmLocation.OStreetAddressText.value = address;

For some reason the caller form gets the address value it looks like it has been URL-incoded. Why does that happen and how can this be fixed?

thanks!!

Is it not encoded before it is sent? These things don't just happen for no reason, so it must be getting encoded at some stage.

Does it look encoded on the opener form (client-side), or only when that is submitted?

Nope, it is not encoded in any way before it is sent to opener form. It appears encoded on opener form.
Could it be that it gets encoded by broser when it is transferred between 2 forms, popup and parent?
Also, what is the way to do URLDecode in JS?

It might be... but this is not default behaviour. Maybe you have some 3rd-party browser add-on, extension, etc, installed that is causing this.

To decode, use "unescape":

newStr = unescape(oldStr);

Hope this helps,
