Hi Pieter,

/javascripts/mod_usemap.php & /php/mod_usemap.php

To me it is at least very surprising. In /javascripts/mod_usemap.php the 
url is escaped using JavaScript, meaning all specialchars and 
control-characters are converted to hexadecimal number values with a 
leading %-character. In the file /php/mod_usemap.php this process is 
reverted using the php-function urldecode. This should work... or am I 
missing something? Maybe the url should be encoded using |the 
encodeURIComponent()-function instead of the escape()-function within 
the JavaScript-file. I'll send a copy of this mail| to the dev-list as 
well, as this might be a problem that should be discussed there, too.

Pieter, could you please post the generated HTML source (!) code  of 
this example using your values?

$before_decoding = $_REQUEST["url"];
$after_decoding = urldecode($_REQUEST["url"]);

echo "Not decoded: " $before_encoding . "<br />\n decoded: " . $after_encoding;

It would be interesting to me what broke the script in your case... 

Thanks in advance

I don't know, either. Lets have the dev-list look at this...
