Replace %20 ?

[schart]

I’v got some window.location.search.substring(1) trouble here. I am saving the window.location.searc(…) in a variable and inserting the variable as a value in a textbox. If the content transferred in the URL (window.location.search) has spaces, they get replaced with %20. Me no likey. Any way to replace all %20 in the textbox with ” “(space) . And yes, it has to be in a textbox.

The code work’s, and this is not directly copied, it’s by memory. So please do not comment if I wrote the code wrong or something, because it works. Once again, just want to fix “%20” problem.

Just to clarify, this is for example if I load the page with the code above like this:
http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.html?This is location search thingy
It will come out as
This%20is%20location%20search%20thingy

Try this:

var savedInfo = window.location.search.substring(1);

document.myform.myinput.value = 'Some text ' + decodeURI(savedInfo) + '';
