Set Form Value to Unescaped URL Parameter 2

[jay07]

Hi-

I am trying, so far without success, to set a form field value to an unescaped URL parameter. Here is the story. A recipient of email from us click an opt-out button and jumps to an opt out page. The URL of that opt-out page has the recipient's email address appended to the URL as a parameter. But the URL has the "@" symbol in the email encoded into "%40", so I have to unescape it to convert the "%40" back to an "@" symbol. So the URL looks like ...company.com/page/emailoptout.htm?emailname%40yahoo.com

In my header I have script to try to set my "emailoptout" form's "email" field value to the unescaped URL parameter:

<script language="javascript" >
function populate()
{
document.optoutform.email.value=unescape(window.location.search.substring(1));
}
</script>

But upon submission the email address is not arriving with the other form fields' data. Can anyone help?

Thank you

Jay

well this seems to have done the trick

var company1=unescape(ar[2]);
while(company1.indexOf("+") != -1) {
company1 = company1.replace("+", "&nbsp;");
}
