Form PARAM is wierd (to me)

| I am getting a wierd value. When I submit the form I am getting
"position=VALUE++" back in the URL. I have no idea where the "++" is coming
from and I can't find a darn thing about it.

| You need to send a snippet of your html that contains the form element
and sending the script, or the snippet, that outputs the response for
us to see what the problem is....

Most likely they are form encoded space characters. If you pay a visit
to Google and search for something including spaces, you will probably
see the same effect.
I suspect you will find that when you get the value in your CGI script
you will see them converted back to spaces.
