encodeURI("+") "+" decodeURI("+") "+" This is a bug? Andrey

No, it just depends on which RFC you follow that describes URL escaping. For example, PHP has two different url-escaping functions to handle the two RFCs - urlencode (like hunchentoot's url-encode), and rawurlencode (like javascript's encodeURI). That said, the behavior of javascript's encode functions are generally more common. ~TJ
