%20 IE vs Netscape, insert into location problem

I have a page of a list of names from a database and have the following code so I can click on a name to view detail for that name: echo "<a href=\"name.php3?namee=$Results2[name]\">$Results2[name]</a>"; after clicking on the name, the following showing in the location in IE: http://www.domainname.com/name.php3?name=FIRST%20LAST%20 which yields the proper information based upon the variable ?name, however when using Netscape it yields the following: http://www.domainname.com/name.php3?name=FIRST LAST instead of the unix for a space as %20, Netscape is leaving it as a space thus screwing up my search and yielding no results. Is there anything I can do to overcome this for Netscape viewers? Thanks, Trevor
