hi Wahib,
What you can do is replace the <space> character with some valid
character like <%20> or "_"... I also faced the same problem... Wat i
did was use <urString.replace(' ', '_')> this kindof did my job... But
your case mayb different.. you can try replacing the " " character
with "%20" coz spaces aren't valid url parameters... Hope this solves
ur problem...
