When I use a select list (to have an idea about what I mean, what I call a
"select list" is usually called as well a "combo box" in a visual language,
for instance, Visual C++), well, I was telling that when using a "HTML
select list" and any option contains a blank like this:
Then, when try to use the associated variable to the select list, in this
case "category", I don't get the right value but the first part of it, for
example:
If I select the "System Manager" option I will get in the variable
"category" the value "System" because after that there is a blank.
Please help meeee!!
(
If you don't have any idea could anybody tell me where can I find anything related to this problem??
Thank you very much!

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

This likely means that you have a broken user agent (browser), or bad code.
The solution to the problem should be to url-encode your values. Hence
'System Manager' becomes 'System%20Manager'. If this doesn't work,
re-examine your code. The problem is probably there.
