webdbm has javascript-errors with mozilla 1.4 on linux

sapdb release 7.4.03

it may be that this problem also occurs with other browsers / versions / platforms

problem description:
the reason for the javascript-errors is the backurl that is given as a parameter to some of the menu options.
e.g. the edit-action when choose a user from th user-list in the DBMUsers.htm page.

it is the "&" character inside the back parameter that results in webdmb truncating the backurl value that is put in the subsequent page
 ( in our example DBMUser.htm )
therefore the ok / cancel buttons in the user detail screen do not work any more.


solution:
the "&" character in the back-parameter must be encoded as "%26"

to do this i applied the following changes to the web-pages:

in DBFrame.htm i added the following function:

      function EncodeRef( ref ) {
        var sRef = ref;
        sRef = ref.replace( "&", "%26" );
        return sRef;
      }

in
- DBMDevspaces.htm
- DBMMedia.htm
- DBMParams.htm
- DBMRecovery.htm
- DBMUsers.htm
- DBMWizard.htm

i have changed all occurences of

+ "&Back=\"" + this.location.href +

into

+ "&Back=\"" + parent.EncodeRef( this.location.href )

to make sure, that the back value contains the encoded version of the "&" character

additionally i changed the backurl instantiation in line 94 of DBMWizard.htm
and also replaced all occurences of "&" into "%26":

    backurl = parent.CreateWebDBMURL("Event=WIZARD%26Action=VIEW%26Step=" + step + "%26Group=" + paramgroup);
