I have a form where a user inputs an e-mail address, and then submits it with GET method. In IE this works fine, but in Firefox, the browser converts the @ symbol to “%40”. This results in the form not working. Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening?
@ryanbutlerJan 24.2010 — #Probably because the email address contains spaces and there's no spaces allowed in the address bar, so the browser appends it for you. Best way to avoid this is to switch the submission method to post and use a script to capture that email address and them email to a specified recipient.
@JerailauthorJan 24.2010 — #Well, it's not exactly an e-mail form. It's a subscription form, where users have to enter their name and e-mail to subscribe to a newsletter.
I resolved the problem by using AJAX, which looks better anyways.
