Question

I have the following jquery:

var msg = $("#newmessage").val();
var user = $("#userchat").val();

var filename = "/inc/chat.php?msg="+msg+"&user="+user; 
alert(filename);
$("#chatData").load(filename);

when ‘msg’ does not have a space in it, the #chatData loads fine and posts the variable.

When it does have a space in it, I just get a blank div. With no information in it whatsoever.

if I load up the php file that inserts the data into the DB, and manually type the same GET data, it works fine.

Whats going on?

Try using

encodeURIComponent(msg)
