Chad,
First of all, it's urlencode() - not encodeURI(). I have no idea what
that function does - it's not part of the PHP standard library.
And you're using AJAX - which is something completely different. Not
being an AJAX user myself, I can't say what your problem is. All I know
is I use urlencode() with some regularity and it works fine. I've also
tried strings with a '#' in them and it's OK.
The '#' is used in an href to indicate a tag (<a name=...>) on a page.
Perhaps AJAX is getting confused. I wouldn't know. Or maybe your
encodeURI() function isn't doing the same thing.
