hi all,
I have a form that posts messages to my provider's site.

However, when i enter non alpha numeric characters such as

!@#$%^&*()_+~}{[]"'?<>
etc

It is misinterpreted in the form post.

I was adviced to work on a javascript or backend script that maniuplates them to the correct querystring interpretation.

How do i get this done ???

quite tough ?

In JavaScript, there is an encode method that HTML-encode the special characters you listed. I can't remember the name of it but it's a method of the String object. In ASP, there is also an HTMLEncode and URLEncode functions that work in similar fashion, they are used by the Server or Response objects.
