As it is html you will be passing you have to use rawurlencode($data) in the php script <? $data = rawurlencode($data); ?> In the html part <body onload="whatever.applet.Value = unescape(document.form1.data.value);"> <form name="form1" action=........> <input type="hidden" name="data" value="<? echo $data?>"> .. -- regards, Tom
