Problem with calling Registered Function

[ShaneStump]

Howdy All!

I use the following code to call a registered function in my form from javascript:

executeAjaxEvent(\"&BarCode=\" + res,null,\"" + UpperCase(Name) + L".OnScanTicketClick\",false, null, false)");

If the 'res' variable has a value of '+12345-', the value passed to my registered function is '12345-'.

How do I get the leading  '+' value to NOT be stripped?

Thanks in advance,

Shane
