Form problem capturing referring URL content
I have put together a form to pull information from a referring URL and put it into text boxes. When it pulls the info, it also pulls in all the "+" signs, etc. that separate each word in the URL. Is there anyway to alter it so that it will pull the words but not the extra symbols between words?
Thanks!
