well the missing "+" sign is in the returned (loaded) html data, not in the url variables. there are none.
basically i do a $('#container').load(href); what gets display in the container is "A magazine" instead of "A+ magazine" . if in my php script i urlencode($string) the data, then the + sign is displayed. non sense...
