Hi, Ah yes, sorry, I forgot that Prototype's Ajax stuff used to mess around with the strings you gave it.

Prototype 1.7 sends the string unmolested. So if you update to 1.7, you should be good to go. It still validates the string for you (so if you pass in an *invalid* string, it will complain), but it no longer does a round-trip from string to object back to string before sending the params to the server. The string you provide the actual one used. HTH, -- T.J.
