Being from the United States, I don't run into the need to deal with Extended ASCII characters very often. In reality, I never deal with them. So I am pretty clueless as to how to solve the current issue I am having on Idea Jam.
The Idea Jam registration form is submitted via AJAX and works extremely well. However, we have run into a problem where any extended ASCII characters aren't handled correctly on by the LotusScript agent that performs the registration. The problem is that those characters are actually sent as 2 characters instead of one. For example, é is sent as ├® or encoded, using encodeURIComponent(), to %C3%A9. The code I am currently using to decode the encoded characters doesn't handle the double values.
Does anyone have any code that I can look at/borrow that translates encoded extended ascii characters and can still handle encoded spaces and ampersands? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sean, I read somewhere (can't remember exactly where) about someone saying that if you do an @URLDecode() twice (??) on the values using the Evaluate function in LotusScript it would work.

I seem to remember doing something like this:
Getting the query string with:
doc.QUERY_STRING(0)
so not using decoded
eval = Evaluate(|@URLDecode("Domino";"|+ Subject +|")|)
I think that did the trick, there is a lotusscript urldecode function floating around, but I found that didn't work well for extended characters.

@1 & @2 - Doing a single @URLDecode within an Evaluate did the trick. Unfortunately, I was doing a POST instead of a GET, so I couldn't use the Query_String_Decoded CGI Variable. I think I am going to have to put something on Idea Jam to have a Request_Content_Decoded CGI Variable.
