I have a website where everyhting is in arabic.I am having a problem with search page only on Firefox (everything works correctly on IE,safari,google chrome) For example i search for فيروز keyword. This is the inital link that opens after i hit search button. http://www.neelwafurat.com/locate.aspx?mode=2&search=singer1&entry=فيروز Now on forefox when i press the next button or any page number to see the results it doesnt show them and it gives me that there are no results.However there are results compared to other browsers.

From code i get the keyword value like this entry = Request("entry") I noticed on debug that this فيروز word became ظپظٹط±ظˆط² when i pressed next page even though it didnt chnage on 1st run of the page (on page1) and of course my search will search for the new word.

Is there anything missing i need to add to firefox or i need to change in my code?

That page is send as Arabic (Windows-1256) and it works if the data is send as such, but not if encodeURIComponent() is used as Firefox does.
