file Upload issue with Special characters

Hi, I am trying to upload the files in JSP. I am getting errros when the file name/folder name has special characters like &,'. Could you please help me out how to do the urlencode and decode the same.

Here is snippet of my code.
<form name="FORM_A" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<input name="fileName" size="50" type="file">  <a onClick="javascript:validation(this)"><img src="../images/buttons/btn_attach.gif" name="attach" width="61" height="15" border="0" alt="Attach"></a>
</form>
<script language ="javascript">
function validation(f) {
document.FORM_A.action = "submitNominationTeam.jsp?fileName=" + escape(document.FORM_A.fileName.value)document.FORM_A.submit();
return;
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why do you need the file name in query string? You get already the file name as posted field value.

I am trying to post to the same page. In this case, I am not getting the posted field value.

Check this:

<form name="FORM_A" method="POST" action="submitNominationTeam.jsp" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<input name="fileName" size="50" type="file">  
<input type="submit" name="attach" value="" style="background:url('../images/buttons/btn_attach.gif'); width:61; height:15; border:0;" alt="Attach">
</form>
