Unable to use comments link from page with '%' in the URL
I can't use IntenseDebate comment count from pages that have '%' in their URL. It results in a javascript error and the "Comments(0)" link does not appear. For example, this does not work:
var idcomments_acct = '3b738369403a3fb208bcbee6168a7920';
var idcomments_post_id;
var idcomments_post_url = 'http://thekcguy.com/wiki/index.php/Talk:December_1%2C_2008';
script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.intensedebate.com/js/genericLinkWrapperV2.js"
(I removed parts of the html tags so that it would show up better here)
You can see an example at: http://thekcguy.com/wiki/index.php/De...
The comment form is working properly on:

Inappropriate?I believe this can be corrected by either using a fully url encoded url (including slashes and the like in this case) or by not using any url encoding (replacing the % encoding with the , in this case).
We attempt to match the url when finding the script tag that generated this so that we know where to put our comments/links. If these url's don't match up (in this case because they're not fully encoded and not fully unencoded) that we fail to match and you get a JavaScript error.
Hope this helps. -
Inappropriate?Thanks, that helps a lot. I didn't realize that "," was a legal character in URLs, but if I leave it in it works fine. This means I actually have to urldecode mediawiki's default way of making links!
Thanks for the cool product!
